Ensuring the St. Louis region has access to a
safe, convenient and affordable public transportation system

What We Do

We don’t own or operate the transit system, but we work to champion it, challenge it, encourage it and advocate for it. We do this by helping to secure state and federal funding for transit projects, playing an active role in addressing safety and security issues, increasing ridership and raising awareness about the benefits of public transit, spearheading feasibility studies to examine the benefits of adding new light-rail stations, and furthering sustainability efforts.

CMT also ensures the value of public transit is understood by elected officials, civic leaders, key stakeholders and the community at large – so the opportunity to fund, improve and expand public transit isn’t missed.
