Purpose
The purpose of the Missoula Urban Transportation District Board of Directors is to set policy for Mountain Line, Missoula’s public transit agency, and guide the agency in its vision to be an essential public transportation provider in the urban area and a major contributor to a  multi-county, multi-modal transportation infrastructure in the western Montana region.

• Building a network of partnerships dedicated to reducing vehicle miles traveled.
