County seeks funding for a carshare feasibility study

Teton County has submitted a funding application for a carshare feasibility study, a first step toward testing whether a shared-vehicle program can pencil out here and where ongoing dollars would come from. The Lodging Tax Board is set to discuss the application Aug. 13, based on a staff Q-and-A prepared for board members staff report.

The filing itself is the news, because it moves the idea from "interesting concept" to a documented request with named staff time as the local match. The County has not disclosed the dollar amount sought in the materials in this packet; that number, plus a basic timeline for what the study would deliver and when, are the details I will be listening for before this turns into anything that touches workforce housing outcomes.
