We're one of the active state chapters in the national AARBAA network, and our membership continues to grow as more Idaho residents recognize the need for safer roads and accountability in cycling infrastructure planning.

Idaho's caseload concentrates on the Boise Greenbelt crossings, where the Boise station recorded 4.4 yielded-but-not-stopped intersections per mile in FY2025 under the Idaho Stop statute, along with the Bogus Basin Road descents and the ID-21 shoulder. Spring snowmelt runoff on the Payette River byway remains under review.
