Project Framework

TMCI project components are organized around two key transportation systems along the ID-33/WY-22 corridor. This includes the regional transit system, known as the Southern Teton Area Rapid Transit (START) and the regional pathway network which is part of the Greater Yellowstone Trail.

Southern Teton Area Rapid Transit (START) START is the transit provider for the Town of Jackson and Teton County, Wyoming, as well as providing commuter transit service for Teton County, Idaho. Ridership totals over 1,000,000 passengers per year.

Greater Yellowstone Trail Plan (GYT) The Greater Yellowstone Trail Concept Plan was developed through a collaborative regional planning process that formalized a vision for a world-class regional trail system that would enhance quality of life, provide sustainable transportation options, connect to public land and recreational assets, and spur economic development opportunities along the unique and diverse 180-mile corridor.
