Valley Regional Transit is overseen by a Board and Executive Board and convenes a Regional Advisory Council (RAC), which provides VRT with feedback and perspectives from across the valley.
The Valley Regional Transit (VRT) Board of Directors establishes policy and guides the strategic priorities for the agency. Board members include representatives from Ada and Canyon counties, the incorporated cities, and highway districts. In addition, there are representatives from Boise State University, the Capital City Development Corporation, the Idaho Transportation Department (ex-officio), and the Meridian Development Corporation.
The Board is scheduled to meet four times a year – January 3, April 4, August 1, and October 3. The meetings are held at noon in the first-floor Board Room at the VRT administrative offices, 700 NE 2nd Street in Meridian. Posted agendas will contain a call-in link for remote participation.

The VRT Executive Board is a standing committee of the Board of Directors. It reviews matters related to budget, finance, operations, governmental, and legislative actions.

Members are the board chair, past chair, chair-elect, vice-chair, treasurer, five at-large members from Ada and Canyon counties, as well as a representative from Boise State University.
The Executive Board is scheduled to meet on the first Monday of every month but September. The meetings are held at 11 a.m. in the first-floor Board Room at the VRT administrative offices, 700 NE 2nd Street in Meridian. Posted agendas will contain a call-in link for remote participation.

The Regional Advisory Council (RAC) is a standing committee of the Valley Regional Transit Board. It was developed to provide a forum for transportation and human service staff to share information and collaborate on mobility issues. Members of the Council provide advice to VRT on its transportation programs and disseminate mobility information to their stakeholders.
The RAC is scheduled to meet bi-monthly with calendars set at the beginning of each year. The meetings are typically held at 9 a.m. in the first-floor Board Room at the VRT administrative offices, 700 NE 2nd Street in Meridian. RAC meetings may be hosted at different locations depending on agenda needs. Posted agendas will contain a call-in link for remote participation.
We envision an accessible regional transportation system that is built upon meaningful stakeholder input and feedback.
The Regional Advisory Council’s mission is to use a customer-centered focus to ensure that VRT’s policies, services, and outreach meet the mobility needs of the community.
If you need to contact a Regional Advisory Council member, please call 208-258-2706.
