Hello,

Last year you responded to a survey of DRMTs about transportation.  Thank
you for taking the time to share your stories and concerns with us. Many of
you have talked about long wait times, limited routes, and how hard it can
be to get where you need to go. Your lived experience matter, and lawmakers
will be talking about these issues soon.

The Transportation Interim Committee

Monday, November 24, 2025
8:30am-4:00pm
Room 102, Montana State Capitol in Helena

The committee will talk about the public transportation study starting at
1:10pm, and public comment will begin at 2:15pm. This is your chance to
share your experiences and ideas. Real stories, like yours, can spark
important conversations amongst lawmakers and help shape transportation
solutions that better connect us to our jobs, healthcare, and daily life.

How You Can Share Your Thoughts

You can comment in any of these ways:

1. In person:
Come to the Capitol and speak during the public comment time.

3. In writing:
Send written comments online or mail them to:

Transportation Interim Committee
PO Box 201706
Helena, MT 59620-1706

4. We will share it for you: 

If you can't participate or feel too nervous to speak, we can share your
story on your behalf so your story can be heard. Just let us know!

We Can Help

If you want help writing your comment, practicing what to say, or signing up
to speak online, we can support you one-on-one. Just let me know what you
need.

Your voice is important, and lawmakers need to hear from people who are
directly affected by Montana's transportation system.

Please reach out if you want help getting ready.

Thank you,
