Transportation
City residents have convenient access to metropolitan interstates, including I-494, which forms a beltway around the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, and I-394, an east-west route between the western suburbs and Minneapolis. Minnetonka is about 25 minutes from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
I-394 includes a reversible high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lane, which creates a priority route for buses and car pool vehicles during peak traffic hours. Recently, the MnPASS toll system was implemented on this road, allowing single-passenger vehicles to use the road for a fee. Park-and-ride lots are conveniently located on I-394 in Minnetonka so that drivers may park their vehicles for the day and catch the bus into downtown.
Minnetonka is served by Metro Transit bus service and TransitLink.
