The Town of Jackson, Wyoming is a premier residential and tourist community in

western Wyoming with a population of 10,680, and a total county population of

23,272 (2024 Census estimates). The Town limits include 3 square miles in southern

Teton County, Wyoming (“Teton County”). The Town and County see over 4 million

forest, and national elk refuge lands.

Southern Teton Area Rapid Transit (“START”) is funded by the Town of Jackson,

Teton County, and the Federal Transit Administration (“FTA”) through the Wyoming

Department of Transportation. It has been in operation since 1987 and was first
