Summary
Nampa’s public transit is facing extinction as city council votes to slash all funding for Valley Regional Transit—potentially shuttering key bus routes and on-demand services by October. Council members cite low ridership—just 300 unique riders, 17,000 trips annually—to justify the cut, but advocates like Andrew Mills argue the service is vital for independence, especially for non-drivers, and far more affordable than rideshares. A final budget vote looms August 17, with public input still possible—though without community outcry, Nampa’s transit future looks bleak. Specialized programs may survive, but they can’t replace VRT’s broad reach. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
