ST. LOUIS Despite unprecedented challenges presented by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, public transit remains an essential component of the St. Louis region’s transportation system.
In honor of Rosa Parks Transit Equity Day, which commemorated Parks’ birthday Feb. 4 and declared that equal access to public transit is a right for all, Citizens for Modern Transit (CMT) hosted a virtual “Talking Transit” event via Zoom. The event highlighted how work continues to positively influence public transit in the bi-state area.
Key learnings from presenters included details of the MetroLink expansion in Illinois, the Northside-Southside transit corridor study, current shift in focus to Community Mobility Hubs, funding strategies and more.
