WHAT ARE THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES FOR SAFE TRAILS? 

The Safe Trails Coalition has been very busy this summer and we expect the fall to be busier. There are a number of major projects that are critical in achieving the vision of a Bozeman to Belgrade trail connection.  Our highest priorities right now are getting safe trails included in major road projects that are currently being planned (reconstruction of Jackrabbit, the proposed I-90 Airport Interchange, and the Frank/Alaska Roads), and in the update of the Bozeman Area Transportation Plan. In the coming months there will be opportunities for you to get involved and make a difference in all of these major projects.

BELGRADE CONNECTIONS

We'd really like to expand our Belgrade connections. Please let your friends know about us. We've got some important issues coming up, specifically the I-90 Airport Interchange and Jackrabbit. 

SAFE TRAILS UPDATES:

We will periodically send safe trails updates to this list - probably once a month. Contact us at the email below to be added to the "Trail Friends" list, or check out our "Getting Involved" page.

ACTION ALERTS:

We will periodically send out safe trails action alerts letting you know how you can help us achieve our vision for biking and pedestrian friendly communities and a safe trail from Bozeman to Belgrade. Contact us at the email below if you would like to be on this list.
