The bill proposes the addition of a new section, 9.510, to chapter 9 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, designating May tenth of each year as "Missouri River Runner Day." This new observance aims to encourage citizens to engage in events and activities that highlight the importance of passenger rail services in connecting communities throughout Missouri, fostering economic development, and ensuring safe and reliable transportation options across the state. By establishing Missouri River Runner Day, the bill seeks to promote awareness and appreciation for the role of passenger rail in the state's infrastructure and economy. The initiative invites public participation in recognizing the benefits of rail travel, thereby enhancing community engagement and support for transportation initiatives.
