The Snake River portion runs from Buhl/Wendell to Minidoka. The EIRR carries a wide variety of product annually and is administered out of Twin Falls. The railway travels along the north side of the cities of Hazelton and Eden and south of the City of Jerome.

The Jerome Highway District (JHD) maintains the western part of Jerome County, Hillsdale Highway District (HHD) maintains the eastern part of Jerome County, and Idaho Transportation Department provides maintenance on all state and federal highways.

All other roads within Jerome County are considered to be private until one of the districts accepts them for maintenance. 6Airports Fairbanks Aireld Airport (1ID7)Eden (Private) Hazelton Muni Airport (U94)Hazelton Jerome County Airport (JER)JeromePublic TransportationThere is limited passenger service oered by Salt Lake Express.444 I D A H O I N F R A S T R U C T U R E G U I D E B O O K'
