Ten Toes + Transit

Citizens for Modern Transit sponsors the Ten Toes + Transit program to help individuals lead healthier lives by linking activity, sociability, and exercise with the use of MetroLink and MetroBus.

Walks range from 0.3 to 5 miles, depending on the group and destination.

Walking groups meet at MetroLink stations or MetroBus stops, take transit to their destination and then walk in a variety of places such as parks, museums, trails, neighborhoods, and more. Groups often finish at a unique shop or stop for lunch or a snack before heading back.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

CMT's Ten Toes + Transit program has introduced more than 10,000 individuals to the region’s transit system and the places they can go using it. There are 8 volunteer-led walking groups that go out each week and explore the St. Louis region.

PROGRAM Details

Registration costs $15 and registrants receive:

  • A walking kit that includes transit passes, a print schedule of walks, and more. New registrants receive a pedometer and branded bag.
  • Opportunities to walk with family and friends around the St. Louis area.
  • Opportunities to use MetroLink and MetroBus to reach places outside your neighborhood.

What our walkers say

“Anyone looking for an opportunity to meet new people, get out and explore all that St. Louis has to offer, and gain confidence in utilizing public transit should look into joining the Ten Toes + Transit program!”
-Sara Feagans
I joined the program for the exercise, but I soon began using public transport several times a week just to get around. I love being free of a car whenever possible. There’s no going back for me!
-Joanne Fritz
I joined the walking group because I am a strong supporter of public transit – both the bus and MetroLink – and I love to walk. I look forward to the socialization and exploring new areas I am not familiar with.
-Jane Taylor
I enjoy participating in the program because I get to experience familiar and new places with interesting peers – and I’ve made new friendship.
-Helen Fisher
I love the Ten Toes + Transit program as it provides everything I try to work on in my life. It provides a fun way to help stay in shape, it has provided socialization opportunities after the passing of my wife, and it provides life-long learning about new places and experiences.
-Jim Corsi
I am so glad I discovered CMT and the Ten Toes + Transit walks. While I have lived in St. Louis for 30 years, the program has opened my eyes to new destinations I had never heard of before. It has allowed me to be a tourist in my own town and familiarize myself and get comfortable using Metro Transit.
-Marina Allen
