History

The Missoula Urban Transportation District (MUTD) was established via a ballot measure in June 1976. The MUTD formed the Mountain Line and began operating buses in December 1977.[1]

On January 5, 2015, the Mountain Line began a three-year demonstration project that provided free bus service to all passengers.[4] The project costs $460,000 annually and is funded by the city of Missoula, the University of Montana, and 12 other community partners.[5] By the end of the year, the service saw a 38 percent increase in ridership, with 300,000 additional passengers.[6]

In 2021, Mountain Line was named the top public transit agency in the United States and Canada, winning the Outstanding Public Transportation System Achievement Award by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA).

Services

Mountain Line operates 12 fixed routes on weekdays, 11 of which also operate on Saturdays and 10 on Sundays.[7] There is no service on 4 major holidays: New Years Day (Jan 1st), Forth of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Mountain Line operates on a Sunday schedule during other federal holidays.[8] 15-minute frequent transit service is available on the Bolt! Route while most other routes operate on 30- or 60-minute schedules. During the Saturdays in the summer, Mountain Line also operates a trolley to two farmers' markets and a craft market in downtown Missoula. Additionally, Mountain Line operates a trolley to "Out to Lunch," an outdoor concert series on Wednesdays during the summer. Paratransit service is provided for people with disabilities who are unable to ride fixed-route buses.
