The Metro Mobility Task Force was established during the 2017 special legislative session in HF 3, Article 3, Section 140. According to the legislation, each county with Metro Mobility service shall appoint an elected official who represents a part of the county with Metro Mobility service. Metro Mobility, a service of the Metropolitan Council, is public transportation in the Twin Cities metro area for certified riders who are unable to use regular fixed-route bus service due to a disability or health condition. Certification is based on criteria established by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In 2016, the program provided a total of 2.23 million rides to more than 20,000 active users certified for Metro Mobility service.

The purpose of the Task Force is to examine the Metro Mobility program and to identify options and methods to increase the program effectiveness and efficiency, minimize program costs, and improve service. The Task Force will convene its first meeting no later than September 1, 2017 and will submit a final report to the Legislature by February 15, 2018 summarizing its work and findings.
