Nampa City Council just approved a bold budget move for fiscal year 2027 — bringing back funding for Route 42 of Valley Regional Transit with $283,193, while leaving Route 40 and On-Demand service unfunded and set to shut down. After heated debate and resident testimony — including from a social worker who relies on transit due to vision loss — the council chose to prioritize Route 42 alone, rejecting broader funding proposals. While Route 42 is saved, those relying on Route 40 or On-Demand face disruption. The budget also includes a major $3.5 million boost for the Nampa Public Library and up to $350,000 for the county animal shelter, pending partner contributions. The new fiscal year begins October 1.
