Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Gallatin County, MT

Total Budget: $13,533

Area of Focus: Economic and community development

Activity Type: Community Development: General

Summary: Rotarians will provide necessary emergency telephone call box at remote location in a heavily traveled mountain road with no cellular services. 16 Rotarian members will install and assist in the maintenance of the community need.


Install one emergency 911 call box in the dangerous Gallatin Canyon Highway 191 corridor at the turn-out for "35 mph bridge". This roughly 20 mile section of highway is not in cell range, and is a dangerous, highly trafficked mountain road with many accidents and fatalities. It is used by recreational boaters, commercial rafting companies, hikers, climbers, and the fishing community. 911 call boxes help the public report accidents and emergencies quickly, saving precious minutes for emergency services response. Rotarians will be working closely with 3 Rivers Communications to prepare site and clear debris and brush, install sign posts, and provide any needed manpower and organization.
