Connected

A connected St. Louis region links residents to jobs, amenities, and community services. Connectivity provides transportation opportunities to all citizens, regardless of age, income, or ability.

Communities that are well connected within the region provide residents who commute to work, school, and other activities with more choices as to where they live. Residents in different parts of the region have very different perspectives on the range of choices they have for transportation ranging from the outlying communities where transit options are few or not available, to the core of the region where people generally feel they have more choice.

The region benefits from a system that includes a well-connected highway network, while the core of the region is served by a light rail and bus system. OneSTL partners will work to enhance the regional transportation system’s efficiency, accessibility, and range of transportation choices to reduce traffic congestion, diminish social inequities, improve air quality, and foster an economically vibrant and prosperous region.
