University of Missouri–St. Louis Recognized as Challenge Winner

As part of its 35th annual meeting, Citizens for Modern Transit (CMT) recently celebrated the incredible efforts of several individuals and organizations for their exemplary commitment to championing transit in the St. Louis area. During the event, which was held last week in downtown St. Louis, CMT recognized University of Missouri–St. Louis as the winner of the 2019 College Transit Challenge.

Citizens for Modern Transit, Metro Transit, St. Clair County Transit District, the Bureau of Transit Police and Metro Transit Public Safety Officers teamed up with St. Louis Community College, Saint Louis University, Southwestern Illinois College, University of Missouri–St. Louis, and Washington University in St. Louis to host the first-ever College Transit Challenge on Aug. 28. Throughout the day, those affiliated with the respective schools could help their college or university win by taking MetroBus or MetroLink and checking in via Facebook, Instagram or Twitter – with a status update or photo using #iTakeTransit, along with a mention of their school. The University of Missouri–St. Louis had the most participation and was officially named the winners of the 2019 College Transit Challenge.
