The Project Analysis Bureau of the Montana Department of Transportation(MDT) will soon
publish the draft 2017-2021 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program(STIP),a list of
transportation improvements planned for Montana during the next five years. Federal law
requires MDT to present the draft STIP to the public and consider all comments.
In an effort to reduce costs,we are offering you the opportunity to review and comment on the
draft STIP on-line. To view this document electronically,go to
http://www.mdt.mt.gov/pubinvolve/stip.shtml.
If you would like a hard copy,simply write your name and address on the enclosed postage-
paid card and mail it to us as soon as possible. We will be happy to send you the printed
version. If you want us to remove your name from the notification list,check the"remove" box
and fill in your address.
Please review the draft STIP and send us your comments,especially for projects in your area. If
you send in your comments electronically,address them to paujohnson@mt.gov. The comment
period runs through May 19,2017,so be sure to submit any comments prior to that date, so we
can consider them for the final document.
Once the Montana Transportation Commission approves the final STIP,we will notify you that
copies are available. If you have any questions or comments,feel free to call me at
(800) 714-7296 or (406)444-7259.
