June 9, 2024 -The Town of Jackson is working closely with Teton County, the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), and other local, state, and regional partners to assess the impact that the extended closure of Teton Pass will have on the community.
Putting health, safety, and welfare of our community at the forefront, Teton County's Emergency Operations Center has been activated to coordinate community-wide efforts related to challenges as a result of a long-term closure of Teton Pass. The Town and County are working to identify resources and opportunities to address impacts to commuters, businesses, organizations, and visitors.
START Bus (START) will be sending Teton Valley commuter buses through Swan Valley and Star Valley and has posted an updated route schedule, which is available here: jacksonwy.gov/404/Maps-Schedules.
Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has issued an emergency declaration in response to the landslide on Teton Pass. The executive order will help the state access additional resources so the Federal Highway Administration can begin the substantial repairs required. To view the emergency declaration, please visit
To receive updates on the road closure, sign up for WYDOT’s by downloading the 511 application or go to https://511notify.wyoroad.info/511Notify/login.
At 9:00am on Monday, June 10 the Board of County Commissioners will be updated by various agencies about related plans and perspective. Community members are invited to watch that meeting in-person at the Commission's Chambers or online through this link: tetoncountywy.gov/1185/Meeting-Video Teton County will advise the public of any resources as they become available.
In addition to supporting locals, our Travel & Tourism Board has also brought together resources for visitors on this webpage: https://visitjacksonhole.com/teton-pass-closure-information and has also created an outline for businesses to share with potential visitors. Access that here: https://industry.visitjacksonhole.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Partner-Resources-for-Teton-Pass-Closure-1.pdf
The Town will continue to update this page as more information becomes available.
