Learn to Ride with VRT Staff!

Ever thought, “I really want to try riding the bus someday”—but it just hasn’t happened yet? Well, your someday is here!

Join Valley Regional Transit for a hands-on Learn to Ride event on Friday, January 30th from 11am-1 PM.

We’ll meet at College of Western Idaho’s Park & Ride lot (5560 E Opportunity Dr, Nampa, ID 83687) at 11am, hop on Route 42 at 11:32 AM, and take a guided ride downtown to Happy Day Transit Center. There, we’ll enjoy a 20-minute behind-the-scenes tour of Boise’s Canyon County transit hub before catching Route 42 back to CWI, arriving around 1 PM.

Along the way, you’ll learn how to:

• Plan your trip using VRT’s tools
• Read route maps and schedules
• Track your bus in real time
• Pay your fare using the Umo Mobility app

Whether you’re brand new to transit or just curious how it all works, this event is a great (and fun!) way to explore Boise by bus.
