Description
WYDOT’s Office of Local Government Coordination–Transit administers federal and state funding to develop, maintain, and improve public transportation across Wyoming. Assistance covers operations, administration, maintenance, vehicles, equipment, facilities, and transit planning. Programs serve rural communities, urban transit systems, seniors, and people with disabilities. Wyoming has at least one public transportation provider in each of its 23 counties, with many services delivered by senior centers.
Coordination is a central priority at local, regional, and statewide levels. Funding supports connections between isolated rural communities and larger transportation networks, accessible transportation, and the replacement and rehabilitation of transit assets. Section 5310 projects must appear in a locally developed Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan.
