This is the actual five-year funding program: Kagy Boulevard's $42.5 million rebuild, Belgrade's Main Street, a new Gallatin River bridge, bike paths, safe routes to school, and bus operations.

MeetingJul 22, 2026approved

072226 Gallatin Valley MPO TPCC Meeting Minutes - Jul 22, 2026

The MPO adopted its annual federally funded work program — about $540,000 for MPO planning plus roughly $144,000 for transit planning. Staff flagged a structural squeeze: the state deduction and office costs trim about $50,000 a year, and the next long-range plan may need partner cost-sharing without new federal money.

070826 Gallatin Valley MPO TTAC Meeting Minutes - Jul 8, 2026

The MPO's annual federal work plan and budget was finalized for recommendation, but projections show a five-year deficit as the new $50,000 state allocation and high office rent eat into planning funds. Staff is returning two traffic-count stations for a ~$61,000 refund to shore up reserves.
