Public Transportation Program

Section 40-514, Idaho Code, instructs the Idaho Transportation Department to improve the efficiency and productivity of publicly-funded transportation services in presently served areas of the state, and further, seek ways and means to extend needed services to un-served areas. The State role in public transportation is to:

  • Promote, support, and administer federal and state funding for public/private transportation systems and services that will enhance the mobility choices of Idaho citizens.

  • Encourage and assist local and regional governmental agencies and officials in coordinating and reducing duplication in transportation services.

  • Encourage and assist state, regional, and local government agencies in mitigating congestion and attaining air quality goals through expanded public transportation programs and services.

  • Assist local governments in the formation and operation of regional public transportation authorities.

  • Promote public/private partnerships.

  • Work through the Public Transportation Advisory Council and the Interagency Working Group to analyze public transportation needs and identify opportunities to coordinate strategies and public transportation services at the state level.

  • Identify and negotiate solutions to overcome barriers in state regulatory and administrative processes and procedures in order to promote efficiency and effectiveness in public transportation services.

  • Maintain a comprehensive state plan for public transportation.

  • Allocate federal/state funding to projects identified in regional plans and the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program.
