The inbound bus will turn left from Owyhee on to Targee, right on to Atlantic and left on to Nezperce before continung its regular route.


» #7 Capital High Tripper

    The Route #7 Capital High School Tripper will be going by the school an hour later during the afternoon run. The bus will go by the school at 4:22 p.m. rather than 3:22 p.m. in order to accommodate the schedules of those attending summer school. This change will be in effect until summer school is over. 


» STATEHOUSE RENNOVATION

    The Statehouse rennovation project has affected three ValleyRide routes - the #9 State Street, the #10 Maple Grove/Hill Road, and the #14 Hyde Park. The buses leaving downtown Boise will turn left on to Capitol Boulevard, left on to Bannock and right on to 8th Street before resuming the regular routes. Passengers who normally wait for the bus on the southeast corner of Capitol and Idaho are encouraged to wait on the northeast corner of 9th and Bannock at the designated zones for the affected routes. These detours will be in place as late as January 2010.
