The Jackson Hole Airport has a TaxiPool, a ride-sharing program, set up to minimize taxi rides into town from the airport. Participants in TaxiPool will get $10 off a published fare. To use TaxiPool, inquire at the Information Desk across from “baggage carousel 2” inside the airport.
Charge your Electric Vehicle!
It’s possible to travel through the National Parks and Jackson Hole with your electric vehicle. Multiple charging stations can be found along the way as you make your way north or south through the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Jackson and Teton Village have 36 charging stations well distributed and easily accessible around the valley. Yellowstone National Park has 5 charging stations inside the park located at Mammoth Hot Springs, Fishing Bridge, Old Faithful, Canyon Village and Lake Village. Grand Teton National Park has one charging station at the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center in Moose, WY.
When you leave…
Looking to reduce your vehicle use at home? Check out your local transportation options. If you live in a city, you should have access to public transportation. Public transportation doesn’t get you where you need to go? Contact your local government officials and let them know how they can better serve you and encourage your neighbors to do the same.

See the National Parks sustainably by booking a wildlife tour on an open safari. When multiple families or couples book together, we can travel through the parks with one fuel-efficient vehicle instead of multiple vehicles. As a bonus, you get to meet people from all over the world. Who knows, you may end up with a new friend while traveling sustainably through Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park.
