Mountain Rides, the merged entity formerly know as KART/Peak Bus and Wood River Rideshare, is the complete alternative transportation provider in the Blaine County. Our vision, mission, and goals are:
VISION (the big picture): To be the sustainable transportation backbone of Blaine County and adjacent communities.
MISSION (what we do): Manage transportation demand by providing access and mobility to those who live, work, or visit Blaine County with service alternatives (including walking, biking, rideshare, vanpool, car share, custom buses, fixed route bus, rail systems, gondolas, telecommuting and transportation counseling) to the single occupancy vehicle that are environmentally sustainable, energy efficient, attractive, safe, convenient, reliable, and cost-effective.
GOALS (how we succeed):
· Provide attractive and easy to use multimodal transportation services at fair and equitable costs to users and tax payers
· Reduce Blaine County’s transportation generated pollution and its “carbon footprint”
· Promote land-use policies in Blaine County that facilitate multimodal transportation
Mountain Rides encourages the residents, visitors, employees and employers of Blaine County to "be part of the solution", and to try riding the bus, vanpooling, carpooling, walking or riding a bike as an alternative to driving a single occupancy vehicle. Questions? Call 208-788-RIDE.
