Teton Pass Closure Community Impact

June 8, 2024 by Jackson Hole Radio

Teton County, in coordination with the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) and various partners, is actively managing the repercussions of the prolonged Teton Pass closure. The county’s Emergency Operations Center is now operational, focusing on the safety and well-being of residents and addressing the broader implications for commuters, local businesses, and tourists.

The extended pass closure necessitates rerouting START Bus services for Teton Valley commuters. The new routes will pass through Swan Valley and Star Valley, with updated schedules and departure times soon to be available on START’s official website and mobile transit app.

In response to the situation, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has declared a state of emergency. This declaration enables the state to procure additional resources from the Federal Highway Administration for significant repairs needed on the pass. The full emergency declaration is accessible online for those interested in the specifics of the state’s response.

Residents and travelers can stay informed about the pass status and any new developments by signing up for WYDOT’s 511 notify service or by downloading their app.

Teton County pledges to keep the community informed about available resources and any updates regarding this significant disruption.
