Check out the new TV Ad from the Yes on Prop A Campaign and our friends at Citizens for Modern Transit's (CMT). This 30 second educational spot on the merits of public transit for the St . Louis region including local celebrities.

The ad, which was put together by Citizens for Modern Transit or CMT, communicates a clear message: Some of us ride transit, but all of us need it.   CMT is one of the leaders in advocacy efforts to expand light rail as the critical component of an integrated, affordable and convenient public transportation system that will enable economic growth to improve quality of life in the St. Louis region.

The ad, which advocates for expanding MetroLink, is part of the broader campaign to protect and expand Metrolink in St. Louis.  MetroLink is one of the most successful light rail systems in the country with 70,000 riders per day on a typical weekday and reaches as many as 100,000 on days with special events. Without MetroLink, St. Louis would not be at the level it is today.
