Paratransit On Demand ID Number Requirements

Your Metro Mobility Paratransit On-Demand (POD) ID Number is based on your Metro Mobility ID number. To register the app with your POD ID Number, please follow these instructions:

• Your POD ID Number has 7 digits and begins with the number 8.
• If your Metro Mobility ID has 6 digits, simply add an 8 in front to create your POD ID number. If it has only four or five digits, add enough zeros after the 8 to create a 7-digit ID number. For example:
  • ID number 123456 becomes 8123456
  • ID number 1234 becomes 8001234
• If you still have difficulty, contact Metro Mobility at 651-602-1111 or metromobility@metc.state.mn.us.
