In 2018, Missourians for Responsible Transportation (MRT) was established by four Missouri organizations: Local Motion in Columbia, Trailnet in St. Louis, BikeWalkKC in Kansas City, and Ozark Greenways in Springfield. They realized that although they’d been successful with advocacy work in their home cities and surrounding areas, by partnering together, they could help to better address Missouri’s transportation at a statewide level. We're finding local champions – communities, organizations, and people who want their towns to grow and prosper and care about the growing need to help people move around safely and responsibly. They will act as a resource for information, strategies, and solutions. We're connecting communities so they can share ideas and collaborate on common goals. When Missourians work with one another to demand systems that works for their communities, we all win. We're amplifying the voices of communities to lawmakers, regional planning commissions, and the Missouri Department of Transportation. We're acting a resource for towns and communities that want to be more bikeable and walkable.
