Mountain Line is looking for citizen input on its future priorities as it continues with the latest update to its Strategic Plan. The agency has been hosting a series of open houses in different neighborhoods where citizens can view future alternatives for Missoula’s bus system and offer feedback.  The final two open houses will be this week from 5:30pm - 7pm, Wed. Nov. 15 at the University Villages Community Room, and from 5:30pm-7pm, Thurs., Nov. 16 at the Missoula County Fairgrounds Art Building.

Mountain Line’s Strategic Plan is a guiding document which describes how the agency will direct service over the next 30 years.  This kind of planning takes place every 5 to 7 years. The Strategic Plan seeks to balance the needs and desires of the community with the fixed amount of resources available to provide effective service that benefits Missoula as a whole. Understanding the difficult tradeoffs involved is a key element to making informed choices on how transit should grow in Missoula

Each open house includes a brief presentation and question and answer session with Mountain Line staff and transit design experts. There will be a presentation each night beginning at approximately 6:15pm. Attendees may drop in at any time during the events. Once again, open houses are scheduled at the following times and locations:


•         Wednesday, November 15, 5:30pm – 7pm, Univ. Villages Community Room, 2595 Maurice Ave.

•         Thursday, November 16, 5:30pm – 7pm, Missoula Fairgrounds Arts Building, 1101 South Ave.

For more information on Mountain Line and the Strategic Plan update and the open house schedule, please visit www.mountainline.com/strategicplan2017<http://www.mountainline.com/strategicplan2017> or email info at mountainline.com.  We hope you'll join us in the discussion about the future of public transit in Missoula.


Thank you,
