  • Idaho Air Services Study
    Idaho Air Passenger Demand Study Introduction Introduction to the Report Commercial airline service is very important to Idaho’s economy. Not only do businesses located in the State rely on the commercial airline industry to support day-to-day activities, but Idaho’s tourist industry is heavily reliant on commercial airline service. There is no national standard for what constitutes good or even acceptable airline service; such standards vary considerably by community. However, convenient access to the national air transportation system is a top priority for many businesses and tourists across the U.S. It is important that Idaho’s major population, business, and tourism centers have commercial airline service to meet their needs. All areas in Idaho have some inherent need or demand for commercial airline service. The volume of this demand is determined by factors such as population, employment, income, and tourism. Where each community’s demand for commercial airline service is actually served is a more complex equation. In the deregulated airline environment, it is not uncommon to find travelers who leave the market area of their local commercial service airport to drive two to three hours to a more distant, larger competing airport. The airport that travelers choose for their commercial airline trips is influenced by a myriad of factors. With the help of the Internet, which is rapidly becoming the number one method for airline ticket purchases, travelers can compare fares, airlines, and schedules among several competing airports. With airline deregulation, some travelers from smaller commercial airport markets around the U.S. have abandoned air travel from their local airport in favor of beginning their trips from larger, more distant airports.

  • Nez Perce Tribe) Food Sovereignty Assessment
    Nimi’ipuu (Nez Perce Tribe) Food Sovereignty Assessment Columbia River Basin, Showing Lands Ceded by the Nez Perce and Current Reservation Source: Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission http://www.critfc.org/member_tribes_overview/nez-perce-tribe/ Prepared for the Nez Perce Tribal Executive Committee by Ken Meter, Crossroads Resource Center (Minneapolis) December 2017 Nez Perce Tribe Food Sovereignty Assessment — Ken Meter, Crossroads Resource Center — 2017 Executive Summary The aim of this study is to inform and strengthen Nimi’ipuu (Nez Perce) tribal efforts to achieve greater food sovereignty. To accomplish this purpose, public data sets were compiled to characterize conditions on the reservation and estimate the food needs of tribal members. Tribal leaders were interviewed to identify the significant food system assets, and visions for food sovereignty, held by the Tribe. Finally, the report outlines some of the approaches the Tribe contemplates taKing to increase its food sovereignty. Central to both Nimi’ipuu culture and to the nourishment of tribal members is subsistence gathering of wild foods. This stands at the core of food sovereignty initiatives. Yet tribal leaders are also pursuing plans to build a more robust agricultural system that will feed tribal members. Community gardens have sprung up on the Reservation, and many people maintain private gardens for their own use. Tribal hatcheries and watershed sustainability efforts have been highly successful in ensuring robust fisheries in the Columbia River watershed. Our research found that the 3,536 members of the Nez Perce Tribe have less power over the Reservation land than they would ideally liKe to have, with only 17% of Reservation land owned by the Tribe or tribal members (Local Foods Local Places 2017; Nez Perce Tribe Land Services).

  • Idaho Workforce Information
    Idaho Workforce Information Annual Progress Report Reference Period ~ July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 Idaho completed all core deliverables in Program Year 2011 as outlined in the Workforce Information Plan abstract. Adjustments, additions and enhancements were made to accommodate customer inquiries and needs and to make Idaho’s workforce information system more effective and sustainable. Idaho’s economic volatility over the last several years has put immense pressure on LMI staff to closely monitor Idaho’s economy and publish insight on directional changes and shifts in an economy that in 2010 and 2011 experienced the worst performance on record in Idaho. The economic climate during this period made it imperative that the staff listen to department customers and provide the data that suit their needs as Idaho navigates through a deep economic recession and attempts to expand. To meet customer needs, the Idaho Department of Labor and the Workforce Development Council are fully engaged in planning and implementing the Workforce Information Plan. The department works directly with the council to identify the labor market information needs of communities and regions throughout the state. The department also presents current research at council meetings and always uses member feedback to make changes to the current plan to better serve local customers and stakeholders. Other than Web metrics, for workforce information alone feedback is mostly in a non-statistical anecdotal format. However an agency-wide comprehensive customer satisfaction research effort was conducted in 2011 that assisted the workforce information team in the development of our products. We have used these findings to assess our web delivery mechanism as well as the research products and data as whole.

    ~ University of Idaho ~ College ot Agriculture The Idaho Fiscal Impact Model By: Stephen Cooke and Linette Fox A. E. Research Series No. 94-18 March 1994 Departmental Working Paper Series Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology College of Agriculture IJniversity of Idaho Moscow, Idaho 83844-2334 THE IDAHO FISCAL IMPACT MODEL STEPHEN COOKE AND LINETTE FOX* Draft: March 1994 Revised: December 7, 1994 Revised: April 14, 1995 *Associate Professor and Research Associate in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID 83843 I DFI PS.DOC The Idaho Fiscal Impact Model 1 1. THE PROBLEM Local public officials are responsible for providing a level of public services that 1) reflects the tastes and preferences of the electorate, 2) meet the requirements of federal and state government, and 3) complements the growth in population and the changes in the economy. These responsibilities suggest a planning perspective by local officials for public service. However, local officials more often find themselves reacting to public and private policy decisions. In Idaho, two interrelated forces are affecting public services policy decisions. First, the state and federal governments are in the process of renegotiating the social contract regarding the environment. This process includes policies that affect timber harvests, grazing fees, wilderness designations, endanger species protection including the wolf and the shockeye salmon. Since two-thirds of the land in Idaho is owned by state and federal government these policies have a significant impact on local communities including their local governments. For example, county and school officials are affected by the US Forest Service decisions on timber production.

  • Interstate 84 Centennial Way Interchange to Franklin Boulevard Interchange
    Interstate 84 Centennial Way Interchange to Franklin Boulevard Interchange Priority 1 Background Interstate 84 between Nampa and Caldwell currently provides access to activity centers at the Karcher Interchange (State Highway 55 and Midland Boulevard), downtown Caldwell, and downtown Nampa. It provides additional highway connections to US Highway 20/26, as well as to State Highway 19 and nearby State Highways 44 and 45. This portion of I-84 serves as a major freight route for local and interstate traffic, making it a significant factor in the regional economy. The Corridor at a Glance • Four-lane freeway, two lanes each direction • Nine miles from Centennial Way in Caldwell southeast to Franklin Boulevard in Nampa • Three interchanges in Caldwell o Centennial Way, connection to State Highway 19 th o 10 Avenue near downtown Caldwell o Franklin Road (west)/US Highway 20/26 (east) with access to Canyon County fairgrounds, College of Idaho, and Caldwell Industrial Airport • Three interchanges in Nampa o Karcher Road/State Highway 55 and Midland Boulevard, near Karcher Mall (on Caldwell Boulevard) and Treasure Valley Marketplace o Northside Boulevard/Nampa Boulevard, providing access to downtown Nampa and Caldwell Boulevard, and industrial employers north of I-84 o Franklin Boulevard, providing access to downtown Nampa and to industrial employers north and south of I-84 • Bus Route #43 currently runs on I-84 as a daily single express trip from Caldwell to Boise • Park-and-ride lots at Franklin Road/US 20/26, Karcher Road/State Highway 55, and Northside Boulevard • No bike or pedestrian facilities in the I-84 right-of-way, but there is a parallel trail along Indian Creek in Caldwell (west of I-84) from Linden Street to Ustick Road Problem Congestion is predicted to worsen dramatically on I-84, Current and Future1 2013 2040 which would negatively impact not only transit functions Population 7,114 11,649 and interstate freight movements, but also the regional economy.
