Service Changes

2023 SCHEDULE CHANGES

2024 NETWORK REDESIGN

VRT regularly analyzes ridership, travel patterns, and development; we also engage with riders, funding partners, and stakeholders to develop service change proposals. VRT makes adjustments to ensure the transit network is providing the best possible connections across the region. These proposals must be approved by VRT’s Board of Directors.

On October 2, 2023, VRT’s Board of Directors voted to approve the agency’s final bus network redesign after three phases of public outreach throughout the year to guide the redesign process. The changes will be implemented in the summer of 2024.

2024 Public Comment Report

 

The final redesign, which represents a fourteen percent increase in total bus service, includes more frequent service on highly used routes in Boise, new bus routes in Caldwell, new Saturday service on select routes, and the revival of services previously slated for elimination. Public input – including more than two thousand points of feedback since April – and additional funding commitments from local partners made the following changes possible:

• Maintained service to Southeast Boise with a redesigned Route 17 (the Southeast Boise Route 1 was initially proposed for elimination)
• Maintained service to North Boise with Route 10 in the North End and a restructured Route 16 serving Harrison Hollow (Route 10 was initially proposed for elimination and Route 16 for a decrease in service area)
• Maintained service to the Central Bench with a modified Route 4 to serve from Towne Square Mall to Downtown Boise via Franklin, serving Borah High School and maintaining service on sections of Latah (Route 4 was proposed for elimination)
• Improved efficiency in the Central Bench with Route 28, which has been modified to work with the restructured Route 4
• Timing and bus stop adjustments to fit rider requests
• Expanded first/last mile options by adding Lyft Transit Connection stops and expanding Lyft Late Night to better reflect job market locations

Areas of negative impact include the loss of service in Boise along Owyhee between Overland and Elder; on Five Mile, McMillan, and Curtis; and on sections of Maple Grove, Milwaukee, and Overland.
