MUD's Truck Share Wins Best Practices Award from Missoula in Motion

The Truck Share Program was launched in 2007. Since then the program has attracted twenty-five members and now it has garnered a community award. Missoula In Motion is a program designed to help local businesses, institutions and individuals address transportation issues within the Missoula community. Every year it offers its Best Practices Award to a business or organization that has shown leadership in alternative transportation. MUD competed with fifteen other groups and was unanimously voted to receive this year's award. A $1,000 cash prize and TV commercial to promote the program comes with the award. Needless to say MUD is honored and excited to receive this award. The Truck Share uses a 1991 Nissan King Cab pickup truck donated by AJ Johnston of Missoula. MUD carries the insurance and performs the maintenance. A Truck Share membership costs $20 per year. To qualify for the truck rental, a person must be a member of MUD, have a good driving record, and be at least 21 years old. The truck can be reserved 24 hours in advance Monday through Friday by calling MUD at 721-7513.
