Key Actions
Bus
B1 – START Bus should develop a long-range (2035 or 2040) service strategy that describes the types and levels of transit service investment needed to realize the level of corridor and system ridership needed to reduce auto reliance. Those include:

• Commuter services to Star Valley and Teton Valley add 8 daily round trips
• TVA – Stilson – Town service levels tripled during the summer compared to today.
• Grand Teton National Park shuttle or bus service implemented in concert with in-park circulation solutions
• New trail and recreation services implemented to provide car-free options for visitors.
Continued and strategic expansion of START Bus services is the foundation of a sustainable transportation system for Jackson Hole.
B2 – Provide either dedicated shoulder-lane capacity or a managed high-occupancy lane between Town and the WY-22/WY-390 interchange to make transit competitive.
B3 – Provide transit priority at the “Y” interchange (WY-22 and US-89/191). To avoid future grade separated solutions that would harm the small-town character of Jackson, focus on moving more people through this interchange.
Bicycle
C1 – Fund and promote an e-bike distribution program that provides an e-bike to Highway 22 commuters that agree to use a bus-to-bike mode 3 days per week or more. Use the Snake River Bridge mitigation as a trial period.
C2 – Work with Travel and Tourism and business leaders to develop and launch an E-bikes for Businesses and Lodging Program with intent to provide ubiquitous access to e-bikes for workers and visitors.
C3 – Bike for Business program
C4 – Increase funding for pathways program, particularly to enhance capacity at key junctions and points of constraint along Highway 22.
C5 – Fund and implement a card accessible bike cage program (phase 1 focus @ Teton Village, Stilson Park-and-Ride, Victor/Driggs Park-and-Rides, and the Airport)
Providing card-accessed, secured shelters with electric charging infrastructure would allow storage of e-bikes and incentivize people to make bus to bike trips. Photo shows Boulder County's Bike-N-Ride shelters.
