Metro Transit Planning Community Workshop

Carpenter's Library: Monday, October 26, 2009 5-7PM located at 3309 S. Grand Blvd.

For the first time in its history, Metro, in cooperation with East-West Gateway Council of Governments (EWGCOG) and key stakeholders, is embarking upon the creation of a Long-Range Comprehensive Plan to guide the development of the St. Louis region’s transit network.  “Moving Transit Forward” is intended to be a fiscally-constrained, 30-year vision for how the transit system can bolster the regional economy, improve customer service to the community, and continue an established tradition of operational excellence into the future.  “Moving Transit Forward” will consist of three elements: a short-range (5-year) plan for service restoration and enhancement; a mid-range (10-year) plan for major capital projects; and a conceptual, overall vision for system evolution (30-year).  “Moving Transit Forward” will be an action-oriented plan and policy framework for developing and delivering transit service and improvements for the foreseeable future.

To help guide the formulation of this plan, Metro intends to solicit input and advice from regional leaders, political officials, the business community, and the general public.  Beginning October 13 th , 2009, Metro will launch a series of transit planning community workshops, at which the public will be asked to share their ideas for improving transit service and expanding the system.  The workshops will be held in various locations throughout the region to encourage maximum public participation and regional representation. Rather than holding traditional town hall meetings or presentations of a pre-defined plan, these workshops will feature a brief introduction to the planning process and potential service enhancements, followed by small discussion groups designed to solicit useful ideas and input.  These ideas will then be combined with Metro and EWGCOG staffs’ planning expertise to help shape the final long-range plan.
