“With today’s clean, quiet snowmobiles, we don’t have to choose between protecting the environment and providing multiple use access to our national parks,” said Rehberg.  “I hope today’s decision will begin the process of settling into some sense of economic stability for the park’s gateway communities.” 

Rehberg, a member of the House Resources Committee, helped establish the West Yellowstone Community Advisory Committee, a group of local civic and business leaders organized to ensure economic vitality.  Rehberg also helped secure a $40,000 Commerce Department grant for the West Yellowstone community for economic development and planning.
