The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Senate and House of Representatives that requests an interim study to explore ways to enhance passenger transportation services and public transit within the state. It highlights the current inadequacies in transportation options for various groups, including senior citizens, individuals with disabilities, and residents in underserved communities. The resolution emphasizes the need for improved passenger rail services, particularly in southern Montana, and the potential benefits of additional transportation services for employment and tourism.

The resolution calls for the Legislative Council to designate an appropriate interim committee or allocate staff resources to investigate these transportation issues. It suggests the establishment of a passenger transportation commission and a review of existing laws to accommodate autonomous vehicles, addressing public safety and licensing concerns. The study's findings and recommendations are to be presented to the designated committee and reported to the 69th Legislature by September 15, 2024.
