Sustainable transportation reduces impacts to streams and wetlands.
In 2021, Nelson\Nygaard conducted an analysis of Jackson Hole to develop a clear vision for the future of the valley’s transportation system, starting with the WY-22/390 corridor.
This analysis, with guidance from stakeholders across the valley, developed transportation solutions that are ecologically responsible and sufficiently effective to meet mobility needs. The goal is to prioritize community character and
More people riding transit, walking and cycling means more wild lands and recreation space are preserved.

This study attempts to put forward a practical, but aggressive, approach for managing demand for driving in Jackson Hole and advocates for an aggressive implementation of demand management tools, smart and sustainable growth, and a holistic vision for the WY-22/390 corridor.
