The City of St. Louis has begun a citywide transportation and mobility plan. This will be the first citywide mobility plan in St. Louis to be completed in decades and will develop a consensus around the values and vision for the future of mobility in our city. This plan will bring together major projects like the Brickline Greenway, Future64, MetroLink Green Line, and others, while also establishing new priorities for a safer, better-maintained transportation network across the city. It will also give city agencies better tools to develop, prioritize, and communicate about future infrastructure projects. It is one component of many initiatives by the city to develop an expanded, contemporary comprehensive plan.

About the Transportation & Mobility Plan

Key Plan Elements

  • We are launching a multi-faceted community engagement program with events such as goals and alignment workshops with community and elected leaders, a citywide survey, and on-the-ground outreach in city neighborhoods.

  • We will collect and summarize data on current transportation and mobility conditions, identify data gaps, define aspects of mobility to track, and build tools to maintain and present mobility data to the public.

  • We are working on charting a path toward safe streets for everyone. This includes identifying the city’s high-injury areas, as well as developing recommended policy actions and priority projects to facilitate safer mobility.

  • We will seek to understand the ordinances and practices that lead to our current mobility conditions. We will combine national best practices with what we know about our city to create recommended revisions and updates.

  • We will assemble a design guide that outlines the scope of future streetscapes in the city. This guide will reference design elements drawn from national best practices and prioritize people-centered, sustainable street design, as well as mapping new and improved connections between neighborhoods.

Desired Plan Outcomes

  • A unified vision for citywide transportation mobility informed by a guiding mission

  • Prioritized and actionable transportation mobility projects to pursue in the short, medium and long term

  • New tools to communicate current and future projects to the public

  • Adoption of the plan by the Planning Commission in St. Louis’ comprehensive plan
