Bozeman Approves Community Engagement Plan for 2027 Transportation Master Plan Update
The City Commission approved the Community Engagement Plan for the 2027 Transportation Master Plan (TMP 27) update. This plan aims to comprehensively update the existing master plan, which is done every ten years. The engagement strategy will involve "Consult and Inform" levels of public participation, starting with informing the public about the TMP's goals and objectives, gathering feedback to refine them, and later sharing project recommendations for evaluation. Community engagement will be facilitated through a project website (Engage Bozeman), a city-wide open house, regional workshops, and consultation with advisory boards, including the Transportation Advisory Board, Sustainability Board, and Community Development Board. The plan integrates safety considerations by aligning with the Safety Action Plan and aims to foster visionary thinking for Bozeman's transportation future.
