Travel and Tourism Board to weigh $30,000 carshare study for workers

The Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board is set to consider a $30,000 funding request for a carshare feasibility study pitched as a way to help hospitality workers live and work here without needing to buy a vehicle. In the application, Teton County frames carsharing as a “missing link” for workers who might ride the bus to town but still need a car for errands and odd-hour shifts, especially after the “catastrophic” Teton Pass failure highlighted how fragile commuting can be carshare application.

If the board funds it, I will be watching for one practical detail: who this study will actually talk to, and what families should expect to see next. The application says success is mostly about how many employers and property owners staff can engage during the study, and whether that outreach produces a workable business model the community could pilot later carshare application.
