Our Work
Transform 314 was created to address health disparities at structural and community levels, including policy decisions and infrastructure in the City of St. Louis.
We encourage residents of St. Louis to address issues through means they can control, like collaboration, using local resources, and civic engagement.
Assembly Meetings
Join our organization's work to make our streets and neighborhoods better, where we help residents connect with local government so they can speak up about important issues like streets, sidewalks, and safety. We also educate attendees on the people that make infrastructure decisions for our communities.
​
Stay involved by attending our community meetings, signing up for our emails using the form at the bottom of this page, and showing up for your neighbors when and where it counts.
Shaping Our Streets
In 2024, St. Louisans voted to turn the Streets Department into the Department of Transportation, giving it the authority and duty to:
-
maintain and repair public streets, sidewalks, alleys, bridges, streetlights, and traffic lights
-
perform waste removal services
-
plan, engineer, and design City transportation projects and transportation programs relating to safe travel for all modes of transportation. ​
But before the department launches in 2029, Transform 314 is taking the opportunity to understand how St. Louis residents experience public engagement around streets and sidewalks projects.
Through the Shaping Our Streets campaign, Transform 314 is attempting to better understand what St. Louisans need from the Department of Transportation and advocate for those needs in the future.
Transforming Our Legacy: A St. Louis Story
In May 2026, Executive Director Kelly McGowan teamed up with NEU ER World to create the short film, Transforming Our Legacy: A St. Louis Story.
Watch the trailer on YouTube or contact Kelly if you'd like to arrange a screening.
The 2025 Street Sessions
Transform 314's 2025 community meet-ups brought residents and elected officials together for open conversations about our streets, infrastructure, and neighborhoods. These discussions helped everyone understand their roles in improving the safety, accessibility, and quality of our shared public spaces.
