The Project Analysis Bureau of the Montana Department of Transportation(MDT)will soon publish the
draft 2022-2026 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/12ubinvolve/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 June 15,2022-so be sure to submit any comments prior to that date,so we can consider them for
the final document.
Once the Federal Highway Administration(FHWA)and the Federal Transit Administration(FTA)
approve 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.
