Commissioners to weigh tighter Teton Village Transportation Demand Management conditions for START
On Nov. 2, the county commissioners will consider adding three new conditions to the Teton Village Area 1 Transportation Demand Management program, aimed at shuttle access, private drop-offs, and how START funding credits are handled.
Teton County commissioners on Nov. 2 are set to consider requiring three changes to the Teton Village Area 1 Transportation Demand Management program, based on the latest monitoring review. The draft conditions would (1) end any credit or reduction in future START funding agreements that is tied to Area 2 transportation fees, (2) require the federally funded TVA Stilson Shuttle to be available to the general public (or require TVA to fund START so the Stilson to Teton Village ride stays free to passengers), and (3) require TVA to coordinate with Teton County and START so private shuttles dropping off in Teton Village do not interfere with scheduled transit service or safe movement on county roads and facilities MSC2026-0036 packet.
The record shows the board last adjusted this program on Feb. 3, 2026, voting 5 to 0 to approve new conditions tied to monitoring and follow-up work with TVA and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort on traffic and safety recommendations for Wyoming Highway 390 Feb. 2026 findings and order.
If the board adopts the new conditions, I want to see them paired with clear, enforceable reporting, because WY 390 is not just a ski road, it is a working corridor for the whole valley.
