Your Chance to Be Heard About Transportation in the Magic Valley

When cities get to a certain size, just a quick walk to pick up groceries becomes impossible for some residents. After reaching a population of over 50,000, Twin Falls is now included in that designation. Transportation throughout the city is an ongoing issue to be addressed.

Are There Plans for Expanded Transit in the Rest of the Magic Valley?
