START Bus Rideshare/Vanpool Meeting
START is actively looking at all options to help alleviate summer congestion as well as the enduring housing situation that is having many look at any and all options to address the community concerns. With focus on “commuter” options, START and TOJ Staff recently met with representatives from Enterprise Rent-A-Car to discuss opportunities for ride sharing and van pooling to our neighboring communities including Victor, Alpine, and Pinedale. We have had a few meetings with them in the past on this topic. In an effort to respond to recent community input related to current START Bus routes/times and the Town Council, County Commissioner, and START Board’s desire to respond to summer traffic concerns, we have quickly pulled together a community meeting on this topic. The meeting will be facilitated by START Bus to gauge interest and to allow Enterprise to explain more about ride share programs and van pool programs. This meeting will be on Monday, May 23 at noon in the Council Chambers and it will be streamed live and archived for those not able to attend. Going this direction will greatly aid START in determining interest to Pinedale (Bondurant, Hoback corridor) as well as those commuting from our existing areas of Star Valley and Teton Valley that we are not able to accommodate with our current route schedules.
