After officially becoming classified as a metropolitan area in the last census, Twin Falls is now rolling out a public transportation system to meet the needs of its growing population.
The city council approved a contract last month with the ridesharing company Downtowner, which will run seven vans, six days a week, throughout the city as part of its "microtransit" program.
Twin Falls is using a $3 million grant from the Idaho Department of Transportation to set up a two-year pilot project.
A similar program, also operated by Downtowner, has been in place in Idaho Falls since last summer.
