ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport relocated and expanded the rideshare pickup zone at Terminal 1 for travelers using app-based services, the Metropolitan Airports Commission announced Monday.

The new zone is nearly double the size of the previous one, featuring around 50 spaces for vehicles. The pick-up area moved one level down to the Terminal 1 Ground Transportation Center.

According to MAC, more than 1 million MSP passengers ordered rideshare services from Terminal 1 in the last year. Terminal 1 accounts for approximately 75% of all rideshare services at MSP.
