Intelligent Transportation

Vehicles are the second largest source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions – the major greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. At Targhee, we’re reducing our fleet’s emissions of CO2 and other gases and particulates by using biofuels, encouraging the use of public transportation, and increasing the efficiency of our fleet.

• All of Targhee’s diesel vehicles, including resort buses and snow cats, are running on biodiesel year-round (B20 mix in summer, B5 and B10 mixes in winter).
• Targhee provides a free employee bus shuttle from town to help reduce single-driver commuting to the resort.
• Mountain operations use snowmobiles powered by 4-stroke engines that pollute less and are quieter than 2-stroke sleds.
• The resort purchased 2 new Pisten Bully grooming machines that are more efficient than the existing machines.  As a policy, the resort continues to update to more efficient machines yearly.
• The resort has instituted a policy to reduce idling time of buses and grooming machines to reduce emissions and conserve fuel.
