By Kim Cella| Citizens for Modern Transit@ Several mixed-use developments are coming to life near Transit Centers located along the MetroLink Red Line. These developments – coupled with existing access to jobs, education, healthcare and a wide range of amenities and green spaces in close proximity to public transit in North St. Louis County – are helping to create what is known as linear neighborhoods.
By Kim Cella| Citizens for Modern Transit@ Public transportation matters. Hundreds of thousands of area residents utilize MetroLink and MetroBus because it provides a safe, convenient and cost-effective way to get to work, healthcare appointments, stores, entertainment and anywhere else they need to go. In turn, thousands are also passing through transit centers and waiting at MetroBus stops on any given day.

Company Info
Citizens for Modern Transit
In 1985 CMT began its mission to introduce MetroLink to the St. Louis metropolitan area. Since its opening in 1993, ridership has exceeded expectations with an average of 66,000 people choosing MetroLink each day during summer months. What's more, because of MetroLink integration with the bus system, St. Louisans once again have a public transit system competitive with automobile travel. CMT members have played key roles in the passage of funding measures for the expansion of MetroLink and other transportation improvements in the region. Our mission does not stop here but reaches far beyond the scope of the MetroLink expansion debate to rebuilding the St. Louis City, County, and Illinois neighborhoods by investing in rail transit. Rail transit is not just a way to move from point A to B but a means to energize and revitalize existing communities. In 2011, CMT official mission was changed to: CMT leads efforts for an integrated, affordable, and convenient public transportation system with light rail expansion as the critical component that will drive economic growth to improve quality of life in the St. Louis region. Citizens for Modern Transit is located at 911 Washington, Ste. 200, St. Louis, MO 63101. 314.231.7272.
