III. Project Introduction and Background.
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
visitors per year as a result of their location surrounded by national park, national
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
implemented to provide skier transportation from the Town of Jackson to Jackson
Hole Mountain Resort. Today START serves locals, tourists, and commuters who all
enjoy comfortable, reliable public transportation year-round. START currently
operates the following services:
• Town Shuttle, a free circulator within the Town of Jackson;
• Teton Village, connecting the Town of Jackson and Jackson Hole Mountain

START is seeking proposals from qualified firms to design, fabricate, and install a coordinated
system of bus stop signage and schedule display infrastructure at sixty-two (62) START bus stop
locations within the Town of Jackson and Teton County. This project is intended to establish a
consistent, durable, and branded “bus stop ecosystem” that includes static schedule holders, sign
poles, static route signage, and optional digital and lighting enhancements – requiring three bid
package submissions – one for the main project, one for the e-ink signage (if applicable), and one
for the solar powered lighting (if applicable). The Town of Jackson Communications Department will
provide graphic design and branding assets. The selected vendor will be responsible for
engineering, fabrication, and installation of all physical components.

1. Improve legibility and visibility of route and schedule information at all START bus stops.
2. Establish a consistent, cohesive, and branded bus stop design across the network.
3. Enhance rider experience and accessibility through thoughtful, durable, and attractive
design.
4. Integrate sustainable technologies including solar power and e-ink displays in
