The Greater Helena MPO will be out in the community throughout the month of August to share proposed transportation recommendations and solicit feedback prior to developing the draft Long Range Transportation Plan. We invite you to participate and share your thoughts!
Pop-up events will take place at the August 8 Helena Farmers Market and August 11 East Helena Farmers Market to share information about the plan. Both in-person events on August 12 at the Lewis and Clark Library and August 13 at the Civic Center will offer more detailed information about the proposed recommendations. Feedback in welcome at all events!
Can't make it in person? Visit our virtual open house throughout the month of August to check out information and add your voice to the conversation!
The Greater Helena Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is inviting community members to provide input on its Federal Fiscal Year 2027 Unified Planning Work Program (FFY27 UPWP). The UPWP details the MPO’s planned work elements, budget allocations, and staff time commitments for the upcoming fiscal year, which spans from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027.
The program outlines how Federal Highway Administration Planning Funds (PL Funds) and Federal Transit Administration 5303 Public Transit Funds will be utilized to address the region’s transportation planning needs.
Residents are encouraged to review the draft UPWP and share their feedback by visiting the City of Helena’s Be Heard Helena page at: https://beheardhelena.com/mpo-fy27-unified-planning-work-program
Community input will help shape transportation planning priorities and ensure that local needs are reflected in the MPO’s work for the year ahead.
