MoBikeFed Vision of Active Transportation in Missouri released
Submitted by Brent Hugh on Tue, 02/19/2008 - 4:26am

The vision encapsulates much of what MoBikeFed members have been telling us and what the MoBikeFed board has been working for over the years into a single document.
The vision lists concrete, measurable things we want to accomplish in Missouri in the next 5-10 years.
The Vision also includes a Results Tracker. This will allow us to keep closer tabs on where Missouri is, where it needs to go, where we are making good progress, and where we need to concentrate our efforts to make more progress.
In addition, we will issue an annual "Report Card for Active Transportation in Missouri" summarizing the results.
The vision is a work-in-progress and a living document, so please let us know what you think--what should be added or emphasized?
(Note that the vision is a brief summary and lists only some of our specific goals and projects. The complete list of priorities and goals is found in the Vision Results Tracker.)
Highlights:
* Double the number of people walking, bicycling, and using mass transit in the next 10 years
* Cut bicycle and pedestrian crash rates in half at the same time
* Double MoBikeFed membership in the next 5 years
* Double the number of schools participating in Bike/Walk to School Month and communities participating in Bike Month activities
