Missouri Active Transportation Summit - powerpoints, links, notes, and followup from sessions

Many thanks to everyone who attended or presented a session at the 2019 Active Transportation Summit. The Summit was packed full of inspiration, information, and good networking as always. The projects and progress we heard about from all across Missouri (and Iowa!) make all of us really optimistic about the future of bicycling, walking, and trails all across the state.

Thanks to all 2019 Missouri Active Transportation Summit presenters and attendees!

• Potential Cross-State Bicycle Routes - gravel, paved, historical, major connections
  
  These are a combination of gravel routes and low-traffic/low-stress paved routes.
  
  Ideally we will have a mostly gravel route AND a low-traffic/low-stress paved route connecting each destination.
  
  Many of them are just drafts or ideas, and can be turned into good regional routes if communities (even just a champion or two each each community) along the route have the interest (contact director@mobikefed.org if interested in any of the potential routes)
  Some routes are more developed with destinations, historical points of interest, places to stay and eat, etc. Others are less developed.
