Hey there,
We heard that Streamline got only half its support. I am writing today to request that the City
of Bozeman consider funding Streamline’s entire $300,000 funding request. I believe public
transit is a critical resource in our community because…vulnerable populations rely on it, it
cuts down on fossil fuels, aids in traffic reduction, and provides a bridge for cyclists in busy
areas, creating safety (I kind of like these in red). Public transit also plays an important role in
helping our community make progress on its various community plans, including the City of
Bozeman’s Strategic Plan, Triangle Community Plan, the Bozeman Community Plan draft, the
City of Bozeman Master Transportation Plan, and more. As demonstrated by these plans, the
City Commission values public transportation in the Bozeman community. However, the City’s
budget for the upcoming fiscal year does NOT indicate that public transit is one of their
priorities. Please support our community plans by funding Streamline at a higher level now
and into the future. Start with funding a stop at the airport. It's exorbitant to get out there, or
to park.
Thank you!
