START Bus Service to the Jackson Hole Airport Begins December 14, 2024
Jackson, Wyoming – Teton County and the Town of Jackson joined the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board to support Winter START Bus service to and from the Jackson Hole Airport (JAC). From December of 2024 through April 13 of 2025, locals and travelers can ride the bus to and from the airport and connect to the greater START transit network.
Buses will depart every hour, on the hour, from the Miller Park transit hub to the airport starting at 5:00am daily. The last bus to the airport will depart Miller Park at 9:00pm. Buses will depart every hour from the airport to Town beginning at 5:40am daily. The last bus from the airport (9:40pm) will wait until 10:00pm to accommodate late arrivals. The four stops in Town are the same as last winter—Miller Park, Antler Inn, Deloney and Willow, and the Home Ranch Welcome Center. The Miller Park shuttle stop is located on the west side of Milward Street on the corner of Deloney. Airport shuttle buses have a 53-seat capacity and offer luggage storage under the bus.
Ty Hoath, START Board Chairperson, noted, “The survey data collected encouraged us to bring the route back this winter. We expect ridership numbers to continue to grow and are thrilled to continue winter service to the Airport. Working with the stakeholder group has been extremely beneficial and their partnership speaks volumes as we work together to provide safe, efficient modes of mass transit that connect customers to the rest of the service area. We believe these types of services will reduce the number of vehicles on our local roadways, emissions, and the impacts of tourism.”
Riders are encouraged to download the Transit App to purchase tickets, check bus schedules, and monitor route progress during operating hours. Customers can also pay cash upon boarding the bus, but drivers cannot make change. Credit card purchases can be made using the app. The fare structure has not changed. Adult one-way fares are $10.00. One-way fares for seniors, children 12 and under, and individuals with disabilities are $5.00. Children 8 and under ride for free when riding with an adult. Teton Village, Star Valley, Teton Valley and other seasonal or monthly passes are not valid on the Airport shuttle route.
