The development of the St Louis Transportation & Mobility Plan is now underway, using American Rescue Plan funds

St Louis is embarking on developing a comprehensive citywide plan to improve transportation and mobility for residents and visitors.

The plan will bring together major projects such as the Brickline Greenway, Future64, MetroLink Green Line, and more, while establishing new priorities for a safer, more efficient and better-maintained transportation network across the City.

Citywide future mobility plan

The City of St Louis Transportation & Mobility Plan (TMP) will be the first citywide mobility plan to be completed in decades by the Missouri city and aims to develop a consensus around the values and vision for future mobility.

“Everyone deserves to feel safe when getting around St Louis, whether they’re driving, biking, walking or taking public transit,” said mayor Tishaura O Jones. “Creating a comprehensive transportation and mobility plan allows us to make intentional and strategic investments so that moving around St Louis for jobs, education, and entertainment becomes easier, safer and more enjoyable.”

The Transportation & Mobility Plan will establish the City’s vision and values for transportation and will allow St Louis to move towards national policy best practices that make sense for the city. The plan will review ordinances and practices to make recommendations on revisions and updates. This includes updating the Complete Streets ordinance led by Ward 1 Alderwoman Anne Schweitzer.

“Creating a comprehensive transportation and mobility plan allows us to make intentional and strategic investments so that moving around St Louis for jobs, education, and entertainment becomes easier, safer and more enjoyable.”

The development of the Transportation & Mobility Plan is now underway, using American Rescue Plan funds allocated by Jones and the Board of Aldermen. The City expects to present a completed plan in the fall of 2025.

The City’s desired outcomes of establishing the Transportation & Mobility Plan include:

A unified vision for citywide mobility
Short and long-term mobility projects
Improved tools for communication with the public regarding transportation
Projects and strategies identified to improve safety
Network maps and street typology guide to shape future projects
Adoption of elements of the TMP by the City of St Louis Planning Commission and Board of Public Service.

Involving the public is critical to ensuring that this process results in an equitable plan that best serves all of St Louis. To ensure broad public participation, this process will include going to community meetings, holding focus groups and conducting a statistically significant survey.

As the next step in this effort, the City is establishing a Community Advisory Committee to discuss, brainstorm, and help guide the planning process. Interested residents can visit tmp-stl.com for the latest information regarding the TMP and opportunities to get involved.
