Idaho is growing fast — but is our infrastructure keeping up?
In this episode of Ever Onward, Tommy Ahlquist is joined by Simplot CEO Garrett Lofto to talk about the reality of traffic, transportation, and growth in the Treasure Valley — and what happens if we don’t act now.
With projections of 500,000+ new residents in the coming decades, the pressure on I-84 and our current system is already being felt. Garrett shares his perspective as a business leader, why this matters for employees and families, and how the new initiative “Keep Idaho Moving” aims to bring the business community together to be part of the solution.
This conversation covers:
- The real impact of traffic on quality of life and business in Idaho
- Why transportation is a long-term problem that needs action now
- The origin and mission of Keep Idaho MovingLessons from other cities that got it right — and wrong
- Garrett Lofto’s journey from farm kid to CEO of a global company
This is more than a conversation about roads — it’s about the future of Idaho.
