Having a car in the Flathead Valley is often framed as freedom, until your vehicle breaks down, gas prices spike, or a $1,000 repair bill hits. In a region experiencing rapid growth, how does a lack of public transit impact young people trying to work, study, and thrive?

In this episode of 'What the Helena?', Caleb sits down with Isabella Brown, Lead Organizer for Forward Montana in the Flathead Valley. Together, they break down the reality of "stroads," the 3-hour bus loop for a 15-minute trip, and why housing affordability and transportation access are two sides of the same coin. Plus, Bella shares how young Montanans can turn daily commute frustrations into real civic power ahead of local elections.
