Regional Transportation Initiative YBP’s transportation program was born to address the needs identified through the Turning On the Off-Season project.  In 2008 YBP used a $150,000 USDA Rural Development grant to convene six multi-county task forces and explore economic development issues of greatest concern to their particular sub-region.  One of the topics studied was public transportation needs and it was in this context that the idea of a transportation cooperative was first raised. YBP went on, with the support of ARRA rural transit funds, to facilitate a six month feasibility study process to better understand what is would take to make a regional transportation cooperative a success.  YBP has now ushered into existence Linx, a transportation cooperative for moving people around the Greater Yellowstone region.   You can find out more about the Linx 2010 pilot phase, the preceding feasibility study and other research on the menu at the left.
