[edit]
Maple Grove sits at the junction of Interstates 94, 494, and 694, often referred to in traffic reports as the Fish Lake Interchange. U.S. Highway 169 also skirts the east side of the city.
Jefferson Lines buses stop in Maple Grove on their way between Minneapolis and Fargo/Moorhead. Maple Grove Transit Express commuter buses connect Maple Grove with downtown Minneapolis Monday–Friday; they mostly go to Minneapolis in the morning and back to Maple Grove in the afternoon, but a few buses per day also run in the "reverse commute" direction. Jefferson Lines and most of the Maple Grove Transit services stop at the 1 Maple Grove Transit Station near The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes.
