Comments are being accepted on proposed amendments to the regional transportation improvement program (TIP), the budget of transportation projects in Ada and Canyon Counties.

This amendment would add two projects selected through national competitive grants:

  • Valley Regional Transit plans to make improvements to the compressed natural gas fueling infrastructure at the Orchard Transit Center in the City of Boise and the Happy Day Transit Center in the City of Nampa.
  • The City of Boise plans to develop safety improvements along Fairview Avenue, generally between Curtis Road and Cole Road. This project is a demonstration project that will add valuable, tested data to the Regional Safety Action Plan.

In addition, the amendment would correct an error in the cost and scope of a Valley Regional Transit vehicle replacement project for Boise State University.
