The Peoples Way is a 56.3 mile corridor on US 93 from Evaro to Polson that traverses the Flathead Indian Reservation.
The safety and road capacity improvements underway are a collective vision of MDT, the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Nation and the Federal Highway Administration. The Peoples Way sets a new standard for road design, commitment to the environment, and intergovernmental collaboration.
