If you lost something on a bus in or around New Brighton, Metro Transit's Lost & Found Department is staffed weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Items are typically held for a set period. We help you describe your item exactly as drivers and staff need to hear it.

The sooner you report, the better.
Every hour counts when something is lost. Filing your report today means your item's description reaches the right offices and community channels while it's still fresh, and your report immediately starts its active search. Once filed, you can relax, knowing we're routing it and watching for matches on your behalf.
Report my lost item →Losing something in New Brighton can feel like a dead end. Your wallet might have been turned in to the New Brighton Police Department, your keys could be waiting at a bus depot, or a neighbor may have found it and posted quietly on Facebook. But these places don't talk to each other, and checking them one by one takes days.
ReportLost removes that friction. File once, and we notify the police, Metro Transit Lost & Found, and alert community groups so your item's description is in front of people actively posting found items. Better yet, your report doesn't stop working after you file it, your report stays active and continues to search for a match for months, so you're not refreshing Facebook groups every day hoping for news.
