The Wyoming Department of Transportation seeks public comment and review of its 2019 road improvement planning document.
Through an extensive public involvement process, input from engineering studies, the collective judgment of the Transportation Commission and WYDOT, capital improvement projects are culminated into the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, commonly known as the STIP. The STIP is not meant to serve as an accounting document. Rather, it is a snapshot of expected projects and their schedules.
WYDOT’s draft STIP for 2019 is available at the department’s website, http://www.dot.state.wy.us/STIP.

The STIP contains a listing of highway and bridge projects, airport improvement work and Public Safety Communications Commission projects that WYDOT tentatively expects to contract for during the upcoming fiscal year beginning Oct. 1. The final STIP will also incorporate WYDOT’s capital improvement projects. The final approved STIP is published annually and updates are issued quarterly.
The public can submit comments by email (http://www.dot.state.wy.usContactWYDOT/?id=128) or by mail to 5300 Bishop Blvd., Cheyenne, WY 82009. The deadline for receiving draft STIP comments is Sept. 7.
Besides 2019 projects, the draft STIP includes a listing of transportation projects slated through 2024. It also includes a summary of pass-through federal funding for public transportation throughout the state.
Highway projects are listed by county and note the general character of work for the various transportation system projects. These projects include highway, transit, airports and others.
WYDOT emphasizes that the STIP project listing is tentative and is revised in accordance with changes in funding levels, highway conditions and other issues that arise during the advance project design phase.
