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.
Give STL Day is set for Thursday, May 7, and early giving is available starting April 22. As of April 22, you may make an early contribution here.
Here are just a few highlights of where your Give STL Day contribution will make a difference:
- Expanding access through placemaking: Your support will impact riders at MetroBus stops and MetroLink stations through The Story of a Bench program and Transit Stop Transformation Projects.
- Growing programs that connect residents to opportunities: Your contribution supports new transit riders and current riders that make use of CMT resources such as the Try & Ride and Guaranteed Ride Home programs.
- Driving data-informed decision making: Your donation enables critical research, including the recent St. Louis Housing Pricing Linked to Transit Study, Missouri Statewide Transit Needs Assessment and the 2024 Economic Impact Study of Transit which help regional and state leadership make informed decisions about transit and transit funding.
- Advancing the future of transit in St. Louis: Your gift will support building awareness and understanding of upcoming transit projects in the region, including the upcoming opening of the MetroLink extension to MidAmerica St. Louis Airport and the proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line in the Northside-Southside corridor.
