Investing in World-Class, Sustainable, Transportation

If successful, this 19.6 million dollar grant would complete a funding package for bike lanes, sidewalks, and paths throughout Missoula, Montana.Hopes are high with the goodwill that this proposal generated. The grant request received letters of support from Mayor Jon Engan, Senator Max Baucus, and Senator Jon Tester, as well as numerous community-base entities including The University of Montana, Center for the Rocky Mountain West, and homeWord.
