WYDOT seeks public input on Statewide Freight Plan

WYDOT is developing a Statewide Freight Plan to provide direction for future freight transportation policy in Wyoming.

The plan will enable WYDOT to implement a broad approach to statewide planning that will integrate freight elements into the larger Statewide Long Range Transportation Plan, expand economic development opportunities for grants and public-private partnerships, and improve network safety and efficiency.

Public input is necessary to the development of a plan that accurately reflects the current needs and future opportunities for freight and freight-related economic development in Wyoming.

WYDOT has been in communication with a variety of public and private stakeholders throughout the plan development process and would like to encourage members of the public to share their opinions.

A number of forums are available for you to get more information and to provide thoughts and ideas about the Statewide Freight Plan.

• WYDOT hosted a public meeting on July 9 in Casper.
• The Statewide Freight Plan website, www.WyomingStatewideFreightPlan.com, provides plan information and an opportunity to submit comments.
