About the company
Missoula Urban Transportation District, doing business as Mountain Line, is a U.S. local government transit authority based in Missoula, Montana, that acts as a prime recipient of federal transit grants from the Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration. The organization does not hold federal contracts; its footprint consists entirely of grant awards under FTA programs, with 75 prime grants (90% of all awards) and 8 sub-grants (10%) across the past several years. Total dollars obligated across all awards reach $244.2 million, concentrated almost entirely on FTA funding with minimal activity from the Department of Energy.
Mountain Line's grant portfolio centers on three core capability areas: transit operations funding, capital equipment and facility procurement, and fleet modernization. Recent representative prime grants include a $53.816 million project award from FTA on August 20, 2026 (CFDA 20.526, Buses and Bus Facilities) to construct a new maintenance operations and administrative base (MOAB) facility in Missoula through the end of July 2029, with MUTD engaging third-party consultants for design and construction; a $16.36 million operational formula grant (CFDA 20.507, Federal Transit Formula Grants) awarded December 9, 2025 to cover eligible paratransit and security expenses; and a $3.649 million low-or-no-emissions capital award (CFDA 20.526) in January 2022 for the purchase of four 35-foot battery-electric buses and associated charging infrastructure to replace diesel vehicles. Smaller grants have funded shop truck replacement, land mobile radio equipment, transfer center renovation, and safety and security equipment.
The Federal Transit Administration dominates Mountain Line's customer base at 75 awards covering 92% of the portfolio, with a single Department of Energy sub-grant award. Activity has remained modest but steady, declining from eight awards in 2022 to three in 2026, with two awards carrying ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months. In its sub-recipient role, Mountain Line has received awards from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality for a microgrid study (April 2026) and multiple transit capital allocations through the State's small urban prioritization process, including nine-passenger ADA vans (October 2025) and 13-passenger ADA cutaway buses (July–August 2024). The organization acts as prime recipient on all its major operational and capital funding lines, with no subcontract or sub-recipient pass-through activity beyond the Montana Department of Transportation allocations routed through state grant programs.
