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 it is one solution for
a healthy town concerned with climate change and exorbitant growth. Streamline is one of the few resources
we have available that serves the entire community, and provides crucial access for low-income
individuals.
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.
Sincerely,
Catherine Schmidt
