Funds have been approved to identify site selection for a multi-modal transit center in downtown Boise. The city is also pushing its public transit system to create fixed bus stops so that riders won't have to flag down buses to get a ride.

"Idaho's Valley Regional Transit agency has hired a Portland company to complete a study on a 'multi-modal center' - a central hub where cars, buses, trains and bicycles could meet."

"The study has three parts, including site selection and a look at Downtown traffic circulation."

"Valley Regional Transit also is working with the Ada County Highway District and the city of Boise to create a fixed system of 630 signed bus stops and shelters in Boise and Garden City."

"People who want to catch a bus in Boise now must flag down a bus along its route. A consultant is reviewing the proposed stops for pedestrian safety and other factors."
