COMMUTER

OF THE YEAR

Every year Missoula In Motion recognizes two Missoulians who not only have built sustainable transportation habits into their daily lives, but also help promote and encourage it at their place of work and throughout the community.​ 

Sustainable modes include biking, walking, busing, carpooling, and vanpooling, as well as other unique types of transportation like longboarding or rollerblading. You can nominate a co-worker, employee, neighbor, family member, co-worker, or friend!

Awards were announced at Downtown Tonight in Caras Park on June 11th at 7:00 PM
