Read the article at the Missoula Current by Martin Kidston
excerpt:
“The two Federal Transit Administration grants sought by Mountain Line include a Bus and Bus Facilities Grant, and a Low or No Emissions Grant. The effort has generated broad community support, including that of Missoula County, which is backing the agency's pursuit of $40 million in funding.
In a letter to the FTA, the county noted the role that Mountain Line's zero fare program plays in providing equitable service to Missoula residents. The agency's fleet of electric buses also contribute to the city and county's climate reduction goals.
“Building a larger, fully electric Maintenance Operations Administration Base Facility will enable Mountain Line to continue expanding a critical service for all Missoulians while prioritizing a sustainable future,” the county wrote in its letter of support. “An expanded facility for Mountain Line supports the county's mission to provide quality public service to protect and enhance the well-being of our residents, communities and the environment.”
