Public toilets in Montana, commonly called washrooms, are found at a rate of 24 per 100,000 people. Some were built in the 130s as part of efforts to increase access to public toilets across the United States. The lack of public toilets along Interstate 90 caused problems for long haul truckers.
Public toilets[edit]
washroom is one of the most commonly used words for public toilet in the United States.[1]
A 2021 study found there were 24 public toilets per 100,000 people.[2]
History[edit]
The Works Progress Administration during the 1930s tried to increase access to public toilets across the United States. Their focus though tended to be on building such facilities in national parks and other civic areas, not at improving access in urban environments.[3]
The lack of public toilets along the western part of Interstate 90 during the 2000s caused problems for long haul truckers. Their solution was often to pee into bottles and then leave them along the road in bushes. Sometimes, road maintenance crews and mowers would run over them as they could not see them in the high grass, resulting in a shower of warm, stale urine.[4]
Arkansas, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota and Wyoming sued the Obama administration in July 2016 over the administration's requirement that children be allowed to use school toilets based on their gender identity instead of their sex.[5]
