Your local advocate for better biking, walking, and transit. 🚲👣🚍
Parents slowed down. Neighbors stopped to learn more. Kids walked with confidence.

It showed what’s possible when we design for people, not just cars: connection, not chaos.

We hope that the plans we co-create with school communities will drive similar change to improve the lives of students and families for generations to come. trailnet.org/2025/10/08/s...

These school mobility plans help prioritize funding for safer street design projects and drive school policy changes to keep students safer. For example, our last plan for Froebel Elementary helped influence the City of St. Louis to build its first Calm Street on Louisiana Avenue.

We're excited to make even more progress next year now that we’ve added a new team member to lead the creation of school mobility plans!

We’ve hosted 2 bike safety rodeos for kids at Hickey Elementary School, helped with bike buses to City Garden Montesorri, conducted walk audits around 3 school campuses, and now we're creating a school mobility plan for City Garden.

The work continues.

The vision is clear.

Together, we’ll build a safer St. Louis for all.

To our partners, supporters, and community: thank you. Your voices, stories, and advocacy make this movement strong.

We are committed to building and sustaining a diverse coalition of advocates and organizations around a single goal: ending traffic violence. We may have different tactics and approaches to advocacy. Instead of focusing on our differences, we choose to focus on our shared vision.

equipping neighborhood organizations with tools to advocate for lasting change and empowering residents to engage with the processes that shape our streets for decades to come.

That’s why we’re continuing the work. Trailnet will continue to leverage our expertise in planning, advocacy, and education to prevent traffic violence by…

partnering with Promise Zone communities to co-create safer streets.

Solving it requires comprehensive action: better infrastructure, equitable policy, community partnership, and cultural change.

Traffic violence is not the result of individual choices alone — it’s a systemic issue rooted in street design, policy decisions, and which communities have historically been prioritized or overlooked.
October 7, 2025 at 3:02 AM
But the fight doesn’t end here.

Traffic violence continues to devastate lives across our region. Every person injured or killed on our streets is one too many.

Hope in the midst of tragedy is not a crime. It’s what sustains us — and what propels us forward.

Hope is resistance.

Because in the face of loss, anger, and inequity, choosing to believe in a better future — and to celebrate every step toward it — is an act of courage.

We joined forces with two disability rights organizations for Accessibility by Design: Crafting Complete Streets for All, a workshop on Complete Streets and how we can all better advocate for improved accessibility in transportation infrastructure.

Our annual Juneteenth Ride transformed into a powerful volunteer activation, as we worked with three organizations to bring food, water, hope, and joy to tornado-stricken communities.
October 7, 2025 at 3:02 AM
We convened 23 businesses and organizations to celebrate Bike to Work (or Wherever) Day, to show our region how taking alternative transportation can better connect us to our communities.
October 7, 2025 at 3:02 AM
This collaboration didn’t start with Week Without Driving, and it won’t end there either. Earlier this year…

Four organizations stood with us to present the Transportation Infrastructure Mayoral Forum, to empower and educate voters.

We celebrated progress on a plan we first put forth in 2019: the Tucker Boulevard Cycle Track, part of our larger Connecting St. Louis plan. 4,000 residents and 60 partner groups helped shape this step toward a safer, more connected city.
October 7, 2025 at 3:02 AM
But our hearts are also full of hope — because this week showed what’s possible when our community comes together.

A coalition of 17 organizations inspired St. Louisans to walk, roll, and ride in the shoes of vulnerable road users — many for the very first time.
