Transportation is a top concern for residents of the Greater Helena Area and will remain a priority as the region grows and travel demands increase. The Long Range Transportation Plan offers a unique opportunity for city, county, and state leaders, working alongside community members, to develop innovative strategies for building and maintaining a transportation system that meets both current and future needs.
To strengthen the LRTP, companion efforts are also underway, including a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) focused on reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Together, these efforts ensure that safety, accessibility, and sustainability remain at the core of the region’s long-term transportation vision.
The LRTP planning area aligns with the Greater Helena MPO boundary, which includes the City of Helena, City of East Helena, and surrounding parts of Lewis & Clark County where development is expected to occur over the next 20 years.
