Why We Need Your Help

Citizens for Modern Transit is a 501(c)3, member-based organization. In order to accomplish our mission, we rely heavily on the support of businesses, organizations, and individuals.

In addition to serving as the sole means for many to get to work and access needed goods and services, transit plays a key role in fueling local economies. It attracts business and industry, sparks development, influences employee mobility, promotes equality and much more. That is why Citizens for Modern Transit (CMT) is continually working to help expand and improve a safe, integrated and affordable public transportation system throughout the St. Louis region. To stay on mission, make a difference and drive transit to success, CMT relies on the support of its members. CMT is currently backed by more than 20,000 transit riders, employers, academic institutions, and labor/community organizations. Your help is greatly needed, too!

Support Our Mission

Public transit access is essential to any thriving metropolitan area. It is credited with much more than getting people to and from destinations via the MetroLink or bus. A safe, integrated, reliable public transit system plays a key role in stimulating economic development, attracting and retaining business, establishing healthier neighborhoods, connecting individuals to job opportunities, furthering equality and building sustainable communities.

Citizens for Modern Transit (CMT) doesn’t own or operate the transit system. The organization works to champion, challenge, encourage and advocate for it. Consider supporting CMT.
