Project Scope of Work
Introduction
The volume of traffic on SH-33 continues to rise from Junction SH-32/SH-33 to the
Wyoming State line due to an ongoing increase in population growth, commuters to
Jackson and tourism/recreation travelers, and there have been several fatalities. During
2025, the twenty four-hour annual average daily traffic in Teton Valley on SH-33
between Driggs and Victor was 11,968. There were twelve days in July 2025 that had
over 16,000 vehicles per day on SH-33 between Driggs and Victor (ATR #239); on SH-
33 south of Victor (ATR #102) there were over 11,000 vehicles per day for twenty-two
days in July 2025. The purpose of this traffic study is to work with county and city
officials to develop high level concepts of potential solutions to traffic and congestion on
SH-33 in Teton county.
Primary Objectives of the Study
This scope of work describes the tasks to be performed by the Consultant for
conducting a traffic study of SH-33 that will evaluate the capacity, safety, and
operational performance of the transportation system and its ability to accommodate

to improve safety and capacity issues along SH-33 in Teton Valley.
The plan will address the following items:
* Existing and future conditions on SH-33
Inventory of existing transportation conditions
o
Level of service and capacity estimation by time and day
o
Traffic counts
