The Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) is a public transportation agency that provides fixed-route and demand-responsive bus services to several communities in the southern portion of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. The service area currently includes the cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Lakeville and Rosemount in Dakota County; and the cities of Savage, Shakopee〔http://www.mvta.com/news/mvta-merger-with-shakopee-prior-lake-official-jan-1/〕 and Prior Lake〔 in Scott County. MVTA provides service from these areas to key destinations in the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as the Mall of America in Bloomington. The agency's name refers to the river valley along the Minnesota River. ==Governance and structure== MVTA was created in 1990 through a joint powers agreement between the member municipalities and counties. The agreement was executed under a 1984 Minnesota statute that allowed suburban communities in the metropolitan area to create their own transit agencies independent of Metro Transit, the region's primary public transit provider. MVTA was one of several suburban transit agencies (also known as "opt-outs") that were formed as a result. MVTA is governed by an eight-member board, each member representing the governing body of a member jurisdiction, plus one at-large member and several ''ex officio'' members. In 2002, the City of Prior Lake withdrew membership from the MVTA. In 2013, the MVTA starts providing service to Lakeville, even though it is not apart of the company's service party. In September 2014, the City of Prior Lake re-joined the MVTA and the City of Shakopee had its membership administered.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minnesota Valley Transit Authority」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
