Montana Gateway is a real-time intelligence dashboard for the state of Montana — a single place to see the day's weather, river, environmental, economic, and community signals, sourced exclusively from authoritative public agencies.
Montana generates an extraordinary volume of public data every day — National Weather Service watches and warnings for every county, USGS streamgage readings on major rivers, EPA beach-water-quality advisories, state DOT road-condition reports, federal grant solicitations relevant to Montana applicants, USAJobs postings located in the state, and FEMA disaster-aid records. That information lives across dozens of portals built for specialists, not residents. Montana Gateway consolidates it into a single situational view that updates throughout the day.
Montana Gateway is a project of TRUiC. TRUiC builds public-good information products at scale. We maintain Montana Gateway as a free, ad-light, sign-up-free resource for Montana residents, journalists, county officials, business owners, and anyone with a stake in the state.
Most weather and government-data dashboards are either national in scope (so Montana-specific signals are buried) or single-source (only NWS, only USGS). Montana Gateway is purposefully cross-source and Montana-only — the same page that shows your county's tornado watch also shows the nearest stream gauge level and any open grant programs your business or municipality could apply to today. It's built for situational awareness, not deep-dive research, though every panel links back to its authoritative source for verification.
