Invest in Moving Transit Advocacy to Action on Give STL Day.
As the region’s transit advocacy organization, Citizens for Modern Transit (CMT) works to champion, challenge and encourage the advancement of public transit access to better connect communities, promote equity and drive economic growth. Our vision, tenacity and extraordinary leadership also play a fundamental role in helping maintain a safe, integrated and affordable transportation system for the St. Louis region. To continue mobilizing our transit advocacy efforts, please consider investing in CMT and Transit on Give STL Day this year.
There are challenges ahead for transit and CMT's advocacy will be critical to success, including:
- Securing local, state and federal funding for transit development and expansion;
- Commissioning pilot programming, studies and assessments to quantify the value of transit, make informed decisions and advance transit accessibility;
- Ensuring a safe and secure ride for all;
- Keeping elected officials and key stakeholders informed on transit-related issues and opportunities;
- Transforming the areas around transit stops into vibrant, engaging spaces;
- Building ridership; and
- Promoting the benefits of taking public transit.
These efforts have played a key role in helping to preserve and enhance existing neighborhoods, promote unity, achieve regional objectives, reinforce existing public and private investments, and provide improved public transportation options for area residents and all who visit the region.
On this Give STL Day, we know there are challenges ahead, but with your help, CMT will continue working to increase community collaboration and support for transit at the regional and state levels, help grow ridership numbers, further safety and security efforts, support expansion efforts and continue creating programming that helps ease rider usability.
In order to do this, we need your help. Please consider making a Give STL Day gift today. Your donation will go a long way towards furthering our efforts and will make a lasting impact on public transit for decades to come.
