Bus, bike, walk, roll, charge...
​
​Missoulians play a crucial role in making our community climate smart. Together we can create a low-carbon transportation future that focuses development 'inward' and emphasizes multi-modal transportation options, transit-oriented development, and pedestrian scale design. Let's work together and accelerate efforts to travel sustainably (bus, bike, walk, roll, charge), advocate for proper investment into sustainable transportation infrastructure, and support groups working to make our city healthier, more equitable, and easier to get around. 

City and Community transportation planning:
​

• Higgins Avenue - Brooks to Broadway - an ongoing planning effort
• Midtown Missoula (Brooks St. Corridor) - and ongoing planning effort.
• Missoula Long Range Transportation Plan - our 30 year plan.
  • ​Missoula Connect, completed in June 2021 is an amazing document of all things transportation in our community. Read the whole thing HERE.
