The Wyoming Department of Transportation is seeking public comment and review of its 2026 transportation improvement planning document.
The STIP contains a listing of highway and bridge projects, airport improvement work, transit projects and Public Safety Communications Commission projects that WYDOT tentatively expects to contract for during the upcoming fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.
The final STIP will also incorporate WYDOT’s capital improvement projects.
The final approved STIP is published annually and updates are issued monthly.
Beyond the 2026 projects, the draft STIP includes a listing of transportation projects slated through 2031.
It also includes a summary of pass-through federal funding for public transportation throughout the state.
Projects are listed by county and note the general character of work for the various transportation system projects.
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.
