Why Attend?
Your presence is crucial! Join us in advocating for our pensions and public education by attending MRTA Legislative Day and visiting your legislators. Your voice is a powerful statement in safeguarding the future of Missouri's public education and our pensions. Stand with us to protect the interests of our students, school employees, and retirees, as we work towards securing the strength of Missouri's education retirement systems. Your attendance on MRTA Legislative Day is not just a personal commitment; it is a collective effort to shape policies that impact us all. We believe that your active participation will make a meaningful difference, and we look forward to standing together on February 11th.
MRTA is also pleased to offer a complimentary trolley shuttle service for all members attending Legislative Day. The shuttle will run continuously from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., (we are looking at expanding this to at least 12:30 p.m.) departing from the Capitol Mall (Dillard’s parking lot). This convenient service allows attendees to avoid the hassle of limited parking at the Capitol and eliminates the need to walk long distances. Take advantage of this free and stress-free transportation option as we gather to make our voices heard!
There will be t-shirts that will be given to the first 250 MRTA members who register. RSVP with Morgan Piening @ mrta@mrta.org or call 573-634-4300.
We appreciate the cooperation of our members and look forward to a successful and impactful Legislative Day.
Important Notes:
• Please allocate ample time for parking and Capitol entry.
• The security check may take 5 to 30 minutes, similar to airport security.
