## Resource

Nampa’s public bus service is on the chopping block as city council votes to slash funding for Valley Regional Transit — the only transit option in town — sparking outrage and concern among residents who rely on it for daily commutes and medical access. Despite a reduced funding request aimed at lowering fares and boosting ridership, council members prioritize infrastructure and public safety, citing budget constraints. The move could also jeopardize a federal road grant tied to VRT’s partnership. With four council members voting to end service and two dissenting, residents are set to weigh in at a public hearing on August 17th — and VRT will hold its own meeting to outline potential changes if cuts go through.
