VRT offers ACCESS, a paratransit service, for users who are unable to use the fixed route service.
As soon as you step on-board, there will be a machine to purchase a one-way or all-day pass. Plan to have exact change with cash or coins on-hand. The buses do not accept debit or credit cards. You may also purchase a mobile ticket through the app, or use a Stored Value card to purchase a pass on the bus.
To ensure accurate ridership counts, every passenger boarding the bus must use some form of payment (cash, stored value, one-day or longer pass). If you are scheduling a large outing or field trip and plan to ride the bus, each passenger must use one of these payment options. One-day passes can be purchased on the bus in separate transactions or bought in advance from our Help Desk at 208-345-7433.
Passes can be purchased in advance to ride fixed-route and on-demand buses. Transit passes are non-refundable and non-transferable. Local passes are good for fixed-line bus service in Boise/Garden City (Routes 1-29), VRT OnDemand service in Nampa/Caldwell (Route 150), and the #42 Nampa/Meridian Limited Stop. Universal passes are good for all bus services (Routes 1-29, 40-45, 150). All passes (except for the one-year pass) will expire one year from the day of purchase, if not used. Once activated, the day passes will expire by midnight of that day, and the month passes will expire 31 days after activation.
You can use a credit/debit card to make pass purchases at Main Street Station, the Happy Day Transit Center and the Valley Regional Transit administrative offices in downtown Meridian. Cash is only accepted at the VRT administrative offices in Meridian. Please note that Help Desk staff in Meridian cannot make change.
