Vision
The St. Louis bi-state region will be known throughout the country as a model community for healthy, active living and broad-based acceptance of alternative modes of transportation. New attitudes will prevail across the region that recognize the need for more bike/pedestrian facilities to support healthy communities. Opportunities for individual and group recreation and exercise will be abundant. Municipalities and developers will give priority to making neighborhoods walkable and bikable and to connecting with the broader network of transportation corridors. Residents will experience that walking and biking are easy, safe and desirable alternatives to driving a car. Regional planners and health officials will welcome and encourage new opportunities to incorporate Active Living strategies for people of all ages and abilities.
As the region’s acknowledged leading advocate for Active Living, Trailnet will drive these changes in both the region’s mindset and its policy development. Trailnet will be at the planning table from conception to design and programming. We will be a strong and effective advocate at the municipal, regional, state and federal levels. We will create partnerships and social networks to help educate and inform residents about Active Living options and to develop plans and programs that provide new opportunities for people to embrace a more active lifestyle. Trailnet’s endorsement of projects and programs will be an important and much-desired stamp of approval that lends credibility and generates awareness.
As we look to the future, we share an excitement for what can be and a passion for doing what is necessary to achieve our goals. As a result of our efforts, the St. Louis region will be safer, healthier and more active, and a model for others.
