Crow Tribe starts up public transit system on reservation

Tuesday, April 26, 2011  

The Crow Tribe of Montana has started a public transportation system.

Crow Nation Transit is starting off with two mini-buses, a conversion van and three routes. Plans call for more buses and more routes.

"It will take about another two weeks before we can finalize the routes," said director Oliver Hill told The Billings Gazette. "Right now we're kind of on a trial basis on each route."

The tribe used a $75,000 grant from the Montana Department of Transportation and a $500,000 grant from the Department of Transportation to get the system up and running.
