With Labor Day Weekend coming up, make sure you make it home.
❗ Over the past five years in the Pocatello-Chubbuck area, nearly 1 in 4 Labor Day weekend crashes involved an impaired driver, compared with about 1 in 15 crashes during the rest of the year.
❗ And 43% of Labor Day weekend crashes involved an injury, compared with 26% on other days.
🚗 Buckle up.
📵 Put the phone down.
🍺 If you're drinking, plan a sober ride home.
🚲 And remember to share the road.
Have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend from BTPO!

We have been updating our bike rack inventory in Pocatello and Chubbuck this year, reviewing local ordinances, and comparing them with recognized bike rack best practices. We’ll put our report out in the new few weeks but based on our recommendations, if you are considering installing a public bike rack, here are some of our tips to help make sure that the users feel they are secure and to ensure that they are functional.
From time to time, the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) are amended to accommodate newly identified projects with funding sources. ITD is proposing a project with federal transportation aid funding at the intersection of US-91 (Yellowstone Ave.) and Park Lawn in Chubbuck, Idaho, to install traffic signals and a right-turn bay. To move forward with the project as proposed, Bannock Transportation Planning Organization will need to amend its MTP 2050 and the Fiscal Year 2027-2033 TIP .

We’re out gathering trail counter data on our Portneuf Valley multi-use pathways this morning. Who agrees with us that we have such an amazingly beautiful system of bike and pedestrian paths across our community?
BTPO is the Pocatello-Chubbuck metropolitan planning organization, a transportation planning organization established by the Governor working with the cities of Pocatello and Chubbuck, Bannock County, Pocatello Regional Transit, and the Idaho Transportation Department to plan and program federally funded and other regionally-important transportation projects in the area. We rely on detailed analyses of historic and projected growth trends, travel patterns and modeling, modes of travel, and lots of other things to determine where best to spend scarce federal transportation dollars but often those data don’t tell us things that people who live, work, and play near our project areas often understand well. We need your input about our projects and plans and so by following our social media pages, you can stay informed of public engagement opportunities like comment periods, surveys, open houses, polls, and more. #Pocatello #chubbuckidaho
