All Episodes

May 27, 2025 • 25 mins

Valley Regional Transit is one of the only public transit systems with zero dedicated annual funding from the state. So, how does it operate with such limited funding — and what would it take to make riding the bus more popular? Host Lindsay Van Allen finds out in her conversation with VRT CEO Elaine Clegg. They dive into what last year’s route changes have meant for riders, why the City of Nampa is on the fence about funding, and how innovation is key to keeping things rolling.
