• WELCOME: This website has been created to facilitate public input and provide information about the LRTP.  We invite you to explore the website, provide your comments, and ask any questions you may have regarding the plan.
• Schedule: Initial planning efforts kicked off in May with the LRTP officially kicking off in June 2025.  The plan is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
• Public Involvement: There we be several involvement opportunities throughout the planning horizon, and community members are encouraged to submit feedback at any time.  Our Public Participation Plan (PPP)(PDF, 3MB) is designed to promote effective engagement and transparency through all of Greater Helena MPO's transportation planning efforts.  Check out the PPP to learn more!
• Public Outreach #1: Throughout the month of October, the MPO hosted two in-person open houses and a month-long virtual open house. the in-person events were well attended and the virtual open house garnered valuable feedback. Though the first outreach effort has concluded, you may still view materials here.
• Public Outreach #2: The MPO is hosting a series of open houses for the next phase in the LRTP to share what has been learned so far and solicitate feedback from the public to help confirm direction and identify gaps before moving forward.  The format and content of both events will be the same, and community members are encouraged to attend at their convenience.
