DOORS TO TRANSIT PROJECT
In August 2020, Streamline was awarded with a quick action community challenge grant from AARP. The grant money will fund a temporary demonstration that shows the new Streamline stops/routes using door blanks.
Timeline for Project
The doors were placed in the community starting on Thursday, November 5th. The Community Challenge Day took place on Saturday, November 7th!
Doors to Transit Community Challenge Day Instructions

Submissions were due at 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time on Saturday, November 7th.
That’s it! We gave away $100 gift cards to the TEN people who participated!
Why Doors?
The doors will be used as a symbol for opening new opportunities through public transportation. We will specifically emphasize the opportunity transit creates for older adults, those with disabilities, middle and high school aged students, college students, low income individuals, and everyone else in the community to have greater personal, social, and economic independence.
We want to give a huge shoutout to AARP Montana and AARP for awarding us a Community Challenge Quick Action Grant for this project!!
