Transportation
An efficient and well-maintained road system runs
throughout the Boise-Nampa MSA, giving employees quick
and easy travel to and from the workplace. Major
highways also connect the MSA to other Northwest and
Western markets, such as Salt Lake City, Portland,
Seattle and San Francisco. The average commute time in
the MSA is 20.2 minutes—20 percent faster than the
national average and considerably less than other
urbanized areas in the West.
The Community Planning Association of Southwest Idaho
(COMPASS) is creating a new Public Participation
Committee (PPC) to encourage broader community
involvement in transportation planning issues. The PPC
will help COMPASS expand it’s public outreach and
involvement activities, such as assisting with public
meetings and other events, and will help reach the
traditionally underserved, such as ethnic minorities,
senior citizens, low income residents, and those with
disabilities.
The MSA is served by regional and national bus lines,
Union Pacific Railroad, and major freight companies,
which put it within a day’s freight-travel time to a
total population of more than 17 million people. View Chamber members
