Dear City of Bozeman Commissioners,
I am writing today to request that the City of Bozeman consider funding Streamline’s entire $400,000
funding request. I believe public transit is a critical resource in our community because the cost of
living is becoming so high. 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, and more.
The additional $100,000 in funding would help Streamline implement new bidirectional routes this
fall that will serve a larger portion of our community. It would also enable Streamline to expand
weekend service and operate later in the evenings on weekdays. The City Commission and the public
continue to voice their support for more public transportation in the Bozeman community. However,
the City’s decision to only partially fund Streamline's request implies that expanded public transit is
not one of its priorities. Please reconsider funding Streamline's entire $400,000 request.
Sincerely,
Christian Black
