Community Partnership

TRANSPORTATION

Chair, Howard Fisk, Fisk Limousine

Members developed a proposal - the Interagency Transportation Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility (ITCCAM), aimed at city, state and county government, professionals, academia and other institutions; and practitioners from the public and private sectors. The proposal would coordinate interagency support services to establish a stronger economic infrastructure, strengthen planned development, and increase access to, and mobility for, residents on local public transit within a specific geographic footprint.

Members also assisted City Utilities Transit with the yearly Community Mobility Study. This study determines the number of welfare recipients able to access public transit service for job access within the City’s Private Industrial Park, and is included in the Missouri Department of Transportation JARC grant application submitted by City Utilities.

Children & Child
Well-Being

More than two-thirds of America's young people ages 6-17 are not receiving enough of the Five Promises to be confident of success. Too many are not ready to enter school and fail once they enter, are physically unfit, engage in negative behaviors, or are a victim of abuse and neglect. We must do more!

Alcohol, Drug & Violence Prevention

The Partnership's roots lie in violence prevention and efforts to reduce alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse. These problems evolved over decades, and changes in attitudes and behaviors do not happen quickly. Yet, our local and regional programming has made a difference.
