Noel Larrivee, the Executive Director of the Missoula Ravalh Transportation Management
Association (MR TMA) was our guest. He provided a thorough presentation on park and ride
programs, his experience in creating a very viable system in Missoula-Ravalli Counties, ways of
implementing or starting such programs, and his experience widr costs, usage, problems,
management, funding, and lessons leaned. He was able to present specific details on aspects of
the program from costs per person per mile, employment and equipment needs, and types of
people who use pazk and ride-type facilities. This was an excellent presentation with a wealth of
data from a very competent and knowledgeable individual very willing to shaze his experience
with us.
Carol brought Janice Winston, Transit Section Supervisor far the Montana Department
Transportation. Jattice discussed finding programs-most of which are no longer or not
available to Laurel. She did, however, pass on Tom Steyaert's name, the Transportation Planner,
Multimodal Planning Bureau, Transportation Planning Division, as the person we would work
with on putting together a park and ride-community van program.
Noe] offered to continue to help us in any way he could; he said a pazk and ride program for
Laurel is "very doable." He said that if we could work with Billings' MetTransit, it would
probably be to our benefit Larry said fie would ask the Mayor to contact the Billings Mayor to
initiate issues.
Cal said the transportation analyses sutnmation is still not available; he hopes to have this by the
next meeting.
Cal also said that Laurel is working with the City of Billings on reviewing downtown building
re,uovarion codes, and we (with Billings) may bring national experts in this particular field to
advise us on redoing our codes. Revising these codes will make reinvestment in our downtown
area more attractive and provide inceniive for new businesses, expansion of existing businesses,
and encourage multi-use of existing facilities-such as for housing in upstairs floors of
commercial buildings.
Another area we will start working on is looking at our subdivision and zoning codes from a
sustainability perspective. After we have reviewed what we have, we will look at possible
changes to improve the codes, and then bring in some experts who have done similar work
elsewhere.
Cal asked that our next meeting be changed to February 15th as he will be out of town the
preceding week. Motion made and approved to allow this.
Invoices submitted: Tracy-Williams: $3,000.00; Cumin Associates: $412.50. Motion made to
pay the bills; carried.
