Transportation Mobility

Closely tied to the housing crisis, the community is boggled by the patterns of traffic congestion and the increasing length of work commutes into the Wood River Valley. With a legacy of supporting local transit services and active transportation facilities, the community voices support for sustainable transportation modes. Yet, data suggests that residents’ travel behaviors do not align with their stated values– Blaine County is largely car-dependent. The community planning program at the Land Trusts engages the public, evaluates trends, educates the community, encourages policies, and coordinates special projects that manage growth for transportation mobility.
