Who We Are
The Sierra Club, Eastern Missouri Group, sponsors this website with the goal of
encouraging transit use for greener transportation. Combining walking,
bicycling, and transit use will enable us to decrease car trips and reduce air
pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Nationally, transportation accounts
for almost a third of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution from
vehicles and other sources contributes to asthma and heart disease.
Using transit, bicycling, and walking reduces the need for paving so much of
Missouri soil with roads, driveways, and parking lots and allows us to live in
more pleasant, healthful suburbs and cities. Transit encourages more
compact communities with more space for wildlife, farms and open landscapes.
