MONTANA - Montanans are being invited to share their views on truck platooning, a technology-driven approach that could transform freight transport on the state's highways.

According to the Montana Department of Transportation via Facebook, truck platooning involves two or more freight trucks traveling closely together in an automated convoy, using advanced technologies such as sensors and vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

This method aims to enhance safety, improve fuel efficiency, and optimize traffic flow.

The survey is designed to gather public opinion on the potential implementation of truck platooning in Montana. Participants will have the opportunity to provide their insights and help shape the future of transportation in the region.

Additionally, survey participants can enter to win a gift card, adding an incentive to contribute their thoughts on this innovative technology.

Montanans' feedback will be crucial in understanding local perspectives and addressing any concerns regarding truck platooning on the state's highways.
