Montana: No transportation measure on November ballot
The Helena Area Transportation Service’s efforts to get a transportation district initiative on the November ballot fell about 350 signatures short when the final tallies came in. Since April, HATS officials have been collecting petition signatures from people who supported placing a proposed Helena Urban Transportation District before voters this fall. Though they managed to turn in more than 7,000 signatures, not enough of them qualified to meet the 5,849 requirement.
