Subject: Montana's Non-Metropolitan Local Official Participation Process
Attached is documentation of Montana's process for providing non-metropolitan local official
participation in the statewide transportation planning process. The Rail,Transit and Planning
Division of the Montana Department of Transportation is requesting comments or any proposed
modifications to the non-metropolitan local official participation process.
In accordance with 23 CFR 450.210(b),non-metropolitan city and county officials are asked to
participate in the statewide transportation planning process. MDT initially implemented the
process in 2004 and continues to review and solicit comments every five years in regards to the
effectiveness of the process;this was last done in 2010. The processes described in the attached
document was proposed and approved by all 56 counties during MACO quarterly meetings in
2003.
In addition to this letter, comments will also be solicited through the Newsline,MDT's quarterly
newsletter;the biennial TranPlan 21 stakeholder survey;and at the annual STIP meetings with
County Commissioners. MDT will continue to consider local official input through our
documented process and alter the process as new opportunities arise.
The document can be viewed at http://wtivw.mdt.mt.gov/pubinvolve/ . We ask that you provide
input and comments by December 4,2015. If you would prefer a hard copy of the document,
please contact Vicki Crnich at 406.444.7653.
