| 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.
