Valley Regional Transit’s Extra Hours Program – Helping You Celebrate and Get Home Safe!

This holiday season, Valley Regional Transit is thrilled to pilot our Extra Hours program! We’re keeping some of our most popular routes running late on Friday and Saturday nights to make it easier—and safer—for everyone to enjoy all the festivities Boise has to offer.

Whether it’s a night out with friends, a holiday party, or a late shopping spree, our extended transit service on select routes means people can get where they need to go and back home safely, all without the hassle of driving. This program also gives a boost to our local businesses, making it easier for patrons to visit restaurants, shops, and entertainment spots during peak times.

As one of our valued partners, you’re invited to help us spread the word! Here’s how you can support the Extra Hours program:

  • Social media: Share the news with your followers. Let them know that late-night transit is available as a convenient and responsible way to get around this holiday season!
  • In-store displays: Display our program materials to remind your customers of their transportation options after hours.
  • Community emails: Include a note about the program in your newsletters or emails to reach even more members of our community.

Why this matters: Safe, reliable transportation during the holidays makes it easy for more people to experience everything our community has to offer. Join us in spreading the word to help ensure everyone can celebrate and travel safely!
