Citizens for Modern Transit (CMT), in partnership with AARP in St. Louis, the Centene Foundation and the St. Clair County Transit District, is excited to announce that registration is now available for the Spring 2026 session of the popular walking program which is widely recognized for helping more than 10,000 older adults integrate walking and public transit use to explore area attractions in a social setting. The program serves as a great way for participants to stay active, make new friends and become better familiarized with MetroLink and MetroBus. Registration is now open and can be completed here, by calling 314-231-7272 or attending one of the three in-person registration events scheduled for March.
The Spring 2026 session will kickoff with an exciting tour of Powell Hall, home of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, which completed a $140-million renovation in late 2025. While registration for the program is now available, registration for individual walks will become available in mid-February.
Beginning April 2, the 12-week-long program gets underway and runs through the end of June. Individuals can join a group that is most convenient for them based on location, time and day of the week. Each week, walk group members and a trained volunteer walk leader meet up and take MetroLink or MetroBus to one of the hundreds of area attractions accessible via transit. Groups walk anywhere from 0.25 to 5 miles while exploring, then typically grab lunch or a snack and complete the reverse trip back.
The cost is $15 per 12-week session and includes access to weekly walks, all special excursions and a walking kit (valued at $50) with a belt bag, transit tickets, pedometer and more. Those who opt in to receive information from AARP will get a free Ten Toes + Transit special gift while supplies last. Single-walk options are also now available for $5 each.
Registration can be completed here, by calling Citizens for Modern Transit at 314-231-7272 or by attending in-person registration events. Learn more about upcoming in-person registration events here.
