"Most communities spend less than $50 annually per capita on sidewalks, crosswalks and paths - less than 1% of total transport infrastructure spending and far less than the share of total trips, traffic deaths, frequent users, and mode share targets" vtpi.org/cwi.pdf

The rural communities of Belle, Eldon, Owensville and Versailles realize trails bridge communities, make people safer, and spurs new economic activity. Let’s commit to investment in rural Missouri too. #moleg #mostateparks

Funding from the grant was for construction of a 30-mile pilot section of the Rock Island Trail, from Eldon to Versailles and from Belle to Owensville. #rockislandtrail

Impressive to see Massachusetts as the lowest risk state for bicycling whether considered by population or bike miles traveled
Tennessee, Missouri, and Arkansas are somewhat surprising: learn.streetlightdata.com/bi…

The "deferred maintenance list" is a red herring used as a distraction and an excuse. Missouri's state park system has been ranked on multiple occasions as one of the top four state park systems in the nation. (1 of 3) #moleg #rockislandtrail

I have a hard time wrapping my head around the opposition to the Rock Island Trail. A once in a lifetime opportunity for our elected officials to leave a positive mark.
Bikers, hikers and tourists hope for Mid-Missouri connection to Katy Trail, @ellamccarthy111 reports.

Let's do it! So glad to have advocacy organizations and more than 1,000 advocates joining us today at #BikeSummit21 to power the movement to build a more Bicycle Friendly America alongside @SecretaryPete!

"When I'm on a bike, I'm embracing my full humanity," says @RepPressley at #BikeSummit21 in talking about how being on a bike for her is freedom, is self-agency, is self-determination, and is part of racial justice. "Biking can inform joy," she says. #BikeJoy in everything!

"When I'm on a bike, I'm embracing my full humanity. I'm leaning into my full self. Biking can inform joy, self-agency, determination, reduce carbon footprints & is a great form of exercise.'

If policy is your love language (to quote @RepPressley) the MUTCD session at #BikeSummit21 is where you want to be. We'll be advocating for changes in the Manual this year (thanks for the extended deadline @SecretaryPete!) to improve outcomes on equity, safety, and better biking.

"There is virtue in itself to getting people out of vehicles, even as the vehicles themselves are becoming more efficient and less emitting." - @PeteButtigieg at #BikeSummit21

"You're going to see a lot of energy coming from my office and my team," @SecretaryPete told #BikeSummit21. "We're just going to be a better, safer, cleaner and greener country the more people have great, safe options to get around on two wheels."
MoBikeFed retweeted
Thanks, @BikeLeague for inviting me to speak during the National Bike Summit. Safe streets that are friendlier to cyclists and pedestrians can greatly improve quality of life and help us deliver more equitable transportation for all.
The biking community has a champion in @USDOT in @SecretaryPete, he tells bike advocates at #BikeSummit21. "I want you to know that you have many partners and champions here in the department and I'm one of them."

Nice day for a ride on @mostateparks Katy Trail! The Missouri Legislators Bicycle Ride 2019 is a great partnership between @MoDNR @MoDOT and @mobikefed to promote trails and trail safety!

Our @mostateparks is celebrating the ground breaking in Sedalia - closing the three mile ‘gap’ in the Katy Trail with @GovParsonMO. Very proud of the state and local, public and private partnerships in this #infrastructure project

Even 900 miles away in Delaware, we can see what an amazing and incredible opportunity this is for Missouri. (Maybe because we'd have to annex parts of Maryland in order to *have* 144 miles to make a trail? 😎) @mobikefed @railstotrails @rideillinois @gmatthewdrew @peopleforbikes
ROCK ISLAND TRAIL UPDATE: Missouri officials requested an extension for negotiations on preserving the 144-mi corridor beyond the current 2/21 deadline. This is major news—but does not guarantee the future of the corridor. Support the #RockIslandTrail➡️rtc.li/rockislandtrail-updat…

It’s often said in media or police reports that “speed wasn’t a factor” in a deadly crash. They mean the car wasn’t breaking the speed limit. That presumes the speed limit wasn’t too high to begin with. When it comes to death from collisions, speed is almost always a factor.
MoBikeFed retweeted
Rising speed limits over the past 25 years have cost nearly 37,000 lives, including more than 1,900 in 2017 alone, a new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows. go.iihs.org/news-speed2019
