Idaho Falls, ID approves microtransit pilot in response to the closure of a regional transit service

Idaho Falls, ID Microtransit Pilot Regional Transit Closure

Planning

Greater Idaho Falls Transit (GIFT) replaces a regional authority that shuttered in 2019 due to financial issues. City officials approved a two-year pilot of on-demand transportation for the new service. A third-party operator to be selected will enable mobile app, online, and phone reservations within city limits. Idaho Falls and the Idaho Department of Transportation secured CARES Act funds for the pilot with a transit coordinator searching for long-term funding sources.
