Welcome to the University of Minnesota. Because the U is a large, diverse institution in an urban setting, PTS has developed a wide variety of transportation programs. However, we know that getting a handle on all your choices can sometimes be overwhelming.

So we’ve tried to make it a little easier for you by organizing every transportation topic for faculty and staff onto a single page. That way you can view your options in one place and quickly connect with the topics of interest to you.
