Engineering Feasibility Study
In May 2024, Yellowstone Safe Passages submitted an application for funding through the Montana Wildlife & Transportation Partnership (MWTP.) The application was targeting support for an engineering feasibility study for the Dome Mountain project area identified in our US 89 Wildlife & Transportation Assessment.
As of September 2024, we learned that the application was APPROVED!
So what does this mean? In short, we will be receiving support and completing an engineering feasibility study for the proposed wildlife overpasses! Once the study is completed, we will be able to approach larger federal grants for the actual buildout of the structures.
We have a lot of work ahead of us, but the wheels are in motion.
Stay tuned — we're so excited to share this journey with you!
