Teton Village winter peak hour traffic ran 17% over the interim limit
Commissioners on Nov. 2 will review monitoring showing Winter 2025-2026 peak hour traffic at 1,070 vehicles per hour, about 17% above the interim threshold of 915, a trigger for reconsidering Teton Village transportation demand measures.
Teton County commissioners on Nov. 2 are set to review the latest Teton Village Area 1 transportation monitoring after winter peak hour traffic on the Village Entrance Road averaged 1,070 vehicles per hour during the 2025-2026 season, about 17% above the interim Measure of Effectiveness threshold of 915 vehicles per hour at current build-out, according to county staff analysis in the packet for MSC2026-0036 TDM program packet. Under the Area 1 master plan, exceeding a Measure of Effectiveness is meant to prompt amendments to the Transportation Demand Management program.
The county’s recent record shows this is not the first time winter peak hour volumes have crossed interim thresholds. In a December 2025 workshop memo, the planning director recommended the county require changes after 2024 winter peak hour traffic hit 880 vehicles per hour, above that year’s interim threshold of 770 2025 workshop staff report. The packet also notes the last report review occurred in February 2026 February 2026 staff report.
