Welcome to the University of Minnesota. The U is a big place in a big city – right? To address a diverse audience, PTS offers a wide variety of transportation programs. And that translates into lots of choices for you. But sometimes there’s so much information to digest that it can be overwhelming.
So we’ve tried to make it a little easier by organizing every transportation topic that applies just to students onto a single page. That way you can view your options in one sweeping glance and quickly connect with the topics of interest to you.
