Missoula transportation plan to anticipate growth trends, future travel modes

Members of the Missoula City Council this week approved a $335,000 contract to update the city’s Long Range Transportation Plan, one that will prioritize projects with an eye on growth and future travel modes.

The city has contracted Nelson Nygaard to complete the plan, which is required every four years under federal law. The update should be finished later next year and cover a range of emerging issues, including growth and its impact on transportation.
