St. Paul Smart Trips is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that improves access and mobility for those who travel in and around St. Paul.
We envision a St. Paul where sustainable transportation is the safe and easy choice. We collaborate with individuals, organizations and government to:
Promotethe use of sustainable transportation options for all trips, with a focus on changing the behavior of area residents and employees.
Educatethe public and public officials about the need for investment in transportation choices, such as improved transit service and facilities, new bicycle routes and trails, and improved conditions for pedestrians.
Worktoward development and zoning that promotes more transit use, bicycling, and walking, and less use of single occupant vehicles.
St. Paul Bike/Pedestrian Bridges Work Group
Smart Trips created an adhoc group to develop a vision for how freeway crossings in St. Paul should look and function for bicyclists and pedestrians. The group's efforts led to the design and pilot of a Complete Bridges Survey Tool which was tested on two St. Paul bridges. Our hope is that insight gathered through application of the survey tool will help inform engineers and designers about the needs of non-motorized users. The pilot survey results and survey tool are available for download. Aldine Street Bridge- Complete Bridges survey report Snelling Avenue Bridge - Complete
