TETON VILLAGE, WY — Visitors to Teton Village this season may notice some new, pint-sized electric carts quietly zipping around the Village core. These “Village Couriers” are part of the Teton Village Association’s (TVA) new E-Delivery Program, an innovative initiative designed to enhance safety and improve our guests’ experience.
In partnership with 106West Logistics, TVA is reimagining how goods move through the Village by replacing large, noisy delivery trucks with small, zero-emission electric carts. Participating food and beverage distributors now deliver all products to a centralized delivery dock located in the TVA Maintenance Yard, just east of the Ranch Parking Lot. There, goods are checked in, sorted, and transferred onto the electric carts for final delivery directly to each property’s designated receiving area. The program will begin with deliveries of food and perishable goods, followed by beverages and other supplies. Orders are verified for accuracy at the dock before being transported via the new electric carts, ensuring smooth and reliable service for Village businesses.
By consolidating deliveries and removing large trucks from the pedestrian core, the program significantly reduces congestion on Granite Loop Road and McCollister Drive, improves safety for visitors and staff, and reduces noise and vehicle emissions. The streamlined system also allows distributors to unload their products in a single stop, saving time, reducing idling, and improving efficiency across the board.
“This pilot is one of the most exciting innovations we’ve introduced in years,” said Meghan Quinn, Executive Director of TVA. “We’re proving that sustainability and guest experience go hand in hand. By taking delivery trucks off our streets, we’re creating a cleaner, more vibrant, and truly walkable mountain village.”
With fewer diesel trucks and less congestion, visitors will experience cleaner air, quieter streets, and an even more inviting environment for walking, shopping, and dining.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at the distribution dock in the TVA maintenance yard on Thursday, December 4th, at noon. Lunch will be provided.
