ACCESS is a paratransit transportation service operated by Valley Regional Transit through the tax support of local municipalities. Designed to complement the ValleyRide fixed-route and on-demand bus systems, this service is available to people who are unable to utilize the fixed-route or on-demand bus systems because of a disability. Eligibility may be limited on a conditional basis, and each trip can be reviewed.
ACCESS is a curb-to-curb transit service for the cities of Boise, Garden City, Nampa and Caldwell. The Boise/Garden City service operates Monday through Saturday with the same hours as the fixed-line bus system. There is also a paratransit service available in Nampa and Caldwell that operates Monday through Friday with the same hours as the on-demand service. The Boise ACCESS fleet consists of 15 vehicles, each with a seating capacity of eight passengers. The Nampa ACCESS fleet consists of two vehicles, each with a capacity of 12 passengers.
All ACCESS vehicles can accommodate wheelchairs.
Pickup and drop-off locations for ACCESS service will be within three-fourths of a mile of fixed-route service.
