December 2020 News & Updates

Believe it or not, the end of the year is just around the corner (and here we were thinking it was still March!). This year was certainly not what we expected, but with a little patience, creativity, and gumption, we think it’s been a pretty successful - albeit different - year for transportation in the Treasure Valley.

However you get to work these days, just know that we haven’t forgotten you. In fact, we’ve teamed up with several other transit agencies to make commuting and getting around not just easy and affordable, but safe and fun. Take a look!

Together, we’re working on new ways to stay connected and measure progress along the way.
