While on board the bus, we ask that you observe a few courtesies to make your bus ride easier, safer and a more pleasant experience for yourself and other passengers.
What you cannot do:
1). Smoke or drink alcohol
2). Board through the rear door
3). Refuse to pay the fare
4). Litter
5). Use profanity, or engage in disruptive behavior
6). Threaten or harass the driver or other passengers
What you cannot bring aboard:
1). Open food or drink containers
2). Flammables (such as gas cans)
3). Weapons
4). Strollers, grocery carts, etc. that are too large to fit between the rows of seats
5). Animals (except service animals) that are not in an approved container that can fit on your lap
What you should do:
1). Wear shirts and shoes
2). Listen to music only through headphones and keep the volume low enough so other riders can't hear it
3). Remain seated while bus is in motion (when possible)
4). Keep your feet off the seats
5). Keep your hands, arms and head inside the bus. Do not shout out the window.
6). Respect fellow riders - no loud talking with passengers or on your cell phone!
No refunds or replacement bus passes for purchased, lost, or stolen passes.
Funding used for the majority of planning and administration costs for Valley Regional Transit(VRT) is being provided through the City of Boise, Capital City Development Corporation (CCDC) and the Community Planning Association (COMPASS). In addition, the VRT Board of Directors approved a dues structure that will supply on-going funding for planning efforts and two staff members.
Funding for operations and capital/maintenance primarily comes from three sources - federal grant monies, fare and advertising revenues, and voluntary contributions from the governing bodies for geographical ares that receive service.
In order for a viable coordinated public transportation system to exist in the Treasure Valley, and to expand the existing system into a true regional public transportation system, additional funding sources will have to be found.
Does preemption apply here? It seems to me they use our tax dollars and appear to be contraced directly by the city of Boise to offer a public service. I am waiting for a reply from the Attorney General and from Valley Ride. Let me know if anyone is interested in testing this out with me.
