START Bus (Southern Teton Area Rapid Transit) is a public bus system serving Jackson, Wyoming, and nearby areas including Teton Village, Star Valley and Teton Valley, Idaho. It is owned and operated by the Town of Jackson with funding from local, county, and federal governments.
START Bus was founded in 1987 to provide transportation for skiers between downtown Jackson and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village. Today, in addition to transporting skiers to the ski resort, it serves commuters and provides bus service within the town of Jackson.[2]
START does not currently serve the Jackson Hole Airport. The Town of Jackson instead offers free parking in its downtown parking garage and an $8 shuttle operated by Alltrans through a partnership called Ride2Fly. This program ended December 1, 2015, leaving no public transportation option to and from the Jackson Hole Airport.
