Once you arrive in Telluride you won't need to drive. There is a free Gondola and free local shuttle service. Showing great foresight, Telluride's Transportation Master Plan even has a comprehensive transportation plan for the region. The idea of installing the gondola between the towns of Telluride and Mountain Village we now all enjoy so much originated with the Master Plan. Future long-range plans call for a gondola to run from the airport to the mountain and a tram system.
