About Missoula In Motion
Looking for ways to cut back on gas, avoid traffic and reduce harmful emissions, while preserving Missoula's top rated quality of life? It starts with taking advantage of Missoula’s sustainable transportation options, and Missoula In Motion can help.
We’re an organization designed to help local businesses, institutions and individuals reduce traffic and improve air quality in Missoula by promoting sustainable transportation options, which include walking, biking, car/vanpooling, riding the bus and telecommuting.
History & Mission
Missoula In Motion (MIM), a program of the Transportation Division of the City of Missoula's Development Services, was founded in 1997. MIM strives to educate Missoulians on their transportation options for both school and work commutes. Through various outreach projects and events, including the Way to Go! Club, MIM promotes the many sustainable transportation options offered in the Missoula community in an effort to reduce congestion, pollution and stress, while promoting both individual and community health.
Funding
Missoula In Motion is funded primarily through Federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program funds. These funds are allocated to MIM by the Montana Department of Transportation who receives them from the federal government. The funds are designated for programs and activities that will help communities attain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) set forth in 1990.
