We created a team of volunteer experts to inspire and encourage the Minneapolis workforce!
Commute Ambassadors are people who work in downtown Minneapolis and are passionate about sustainable commuting. The Commute Ambassadors program provides a space to connect with other like-minded individuals and share ideas, tips, tricks, resources, and encouragement.
As part of the program, Commute Ambassadors work on Mini Projects that, with the support of Move Minneapolis, aim to increase sustainable transportation use at their downtown workplaces, shift workplace culture, and build community amongst peers and leaders.
