Dave Fotsch
Dave Fotsch is the Programs Director at Valley Regional Transit. Dave’s diverse background includes media, public relations, education, and bicycling. A Wisconsin native, Dave moved to Boise in 1991 on a graduate assistantship through Boise State Radio.
Dave taught junior high science in the Boise School District before returning to media, working in TV and radio. He then leveraged his media experience into public relations with the American Red Cross of Greater Idaho and the Central District Health Department. In 2013, he was hired by Valley Regional Transit to launch the area’s first modern bike-share program – Boise GreenBike. The bike-share program suspended operations in 2020.
In July of this year, Dave launched a pilot electric-assist bike-share program called Vall-eBike in downtown Boise.
Dave loves bikes. His most recent interest is bike-packing endurance events like Boise’s Smoke ‘n Fire 400. He and his wife, Stephanie McCurdy, live in Boise, where they spoil their two cats and a dog.
