Transportation & Smart Growth

Bus, bike, walk, roll, charge. 
​
​Missoulians continue to 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 an efficient multi-modal transportation network, 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 who are working to make our city cleaner, healthier, more equitable, and easier to get around.


Together, we can reach 50% sustainable trips by 2045.

bike. Biking is a fun and active way to get around town. Missoula has 62 miles of bike lanes, trails, and cycle tracks to take advantage of. Get out there! Want to go further, faster? Try an electric bike.

walk. Missoula is increasingly emphasizing Smart Growth principles in development projects that will make our city an even better place you'll want to walk around. See our Smart Growth page for ways to get involved.

​
roll. Mountain line is currently implementing a bus stop master plan that will increase ADA accessibility, improve safety, and maximize efficiency. Participating in public comment periods for upcoming development plans is a great way to ensure our city is more accessible for everyone. See our Smart Growth page to get involved.

​
​charge. Still need to drive? Go electric! A number of car dealers in town are selling electric vehicles that can reduce your carbon emissions from driving by more than half. Learn more on our EV page.
