It's hard for people and wildlife to get around Jackson Hole. We have seasonal traffic congestion, not enough START Bus service, unsafe intersections and dangerously-fast traffic along with an average of more than 500 large wildlife-vehicle collissions every year. Despite decades of data showing wider roads only encourage people to drive more, we face WYDOT proposals to do just that. They intend to dramatically expand the highways that bisect our community and to add new roads, ultimately increasing traffic and pollution and fundamentally changing the character of our community. But it doesn't have to be this way. 

 

We are developing a clear vision for the future of our valley's transportation system, starting with the Highway 22/390 corridor. This conservation vision centers on modern solutions, including cutting edge transit infrastructure, that not only make driving around this valley less cumbbersome for everyone, but that also prioritize wilidlife and wild places, mitigate climate change and safeguard what makes our community special. We know there is a better way than building wider hgihways and more roads. We're working with Nelson/Nygaard, a nationally-renowned transportation consulting firm, to make this vision a reality and look forward to sharing their work with the community at a mid-winter launch event.
