We are here to share our mission and support transportation initiatives across the St. Louis area.
Our Executive Director, Jakub Vacin, first discovered his passion for public transit as a young boy, and when he began attending boarding school in St. Louis county almost 6 years ago, that passion turned into purpose. His unique passion and knowledge about public transit makes him a strong advocate for connectivity in the St. Louis region. His school is completely disconnected from public transit or bike infrastructure, which has driven him to find solutions for his situation and similar issues people face across the St. Louis area. Despite being only 17 years old, he is highly dedicated to his work, and strives to be as professional and effective as possible in his role.

We're looking into what options St. Louis can take to reintroduce commuter rail to connect distant communities along existing rail corridors.
We are championing for increased bus service, new routes, and better accessibility.
CSTLA believes that through improvement and expansion of MetroLink, St. Louis can be easier to navigate for all residents, and we support measures to increase safety on MetroLink.
CSTLA is here to ensure we create a future generation of well-educated voters who care about transit development, accessibility, and combating climate change in the St. Louis area.
