Transit Supporter Group
We must continue to let the legislature
know that Missouri money is needed
to keep current service including Amtrak
and expand public transit in St. Louis
and Kansas City.
We urge you to write your legislators
(state and local) about the importance
of state funding for public transportation
in Missouri. Look for upcoming legislative
agenda.
If you do not know who your legislators
are, find out here.
