Whitehall, MT

The Jefferson County DUI Task Force, not to be confused with the Whitehall Community Change Project, will be having a ribbon cutting ceremony in the next few months, to reveal two billboards in the area. The DUI Task Force is made up of community volunteers and now includes four junior (student) members. The DUI Task Force unveiling will feature one billboard with a strong message about the importance of wearing seatbelts and a second billboard will feature a message about the dangers of drinking and driving. Both of these important messages have been crafted by students.

The billboard project is being funded by a grant from the Montana Department of Transportation. The Montana DOT is looking at the Jefferson County DUI Task Force billboard project as a pilot project. If the Montana DOT likes the result, they will consider giving funding throughout the state to other Task Forces for like projects.

Stay tuned and we will let you know when the project is ready to be unveiled.
