OVER 101 MILLION MILES
DRIVEN IN BIG SKY EACH YEAR
In 2022, 101,758,846 vehicle miles were traveled within the Big Sky area — making up one-third of the community’s total emissions. Every trip adds up, but together we can change the outcome. Carpooling, riding the Skyline Bus, and making small everyday changes can help reduce traffic and cut emissions.
