Metro Move is the Met Council’s newest transit option that serves any person who is on a Brain Injury (BI), Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI), or a Developmental Disability (DD) waiver who is traveling to any waiver-eligible destination that is authorized by a lead agency.

Governance

Metro Move meets both the state’s definition of a Special Transportation Service and Minnesota Department of Human Services requirements.

Eligible riders

People who participate in a BI, CADI, or DD waiver are eligible to ride Metro Move. They do not also need to be Metro Mobility certified.

If a person is already Metro Mobility certified and served by a BI, CADI, or a DD waiver, they are welcome to use Metro Move. Using Metro Move will not impact a rider’s access to or ability to ride Metro Mobility.

Waiver participants can choose to use both Metro Move and Metro Mobility, or they can choose to use primarily one service or the other.

Waiver-eligible destinations

Metro Move can serve waiver-eligible riders when it is “necessary for the person to gain access to: waiver services; community services, activities, and resources; and employment.”
