The quality of life in Wyoming and the pace of the state’s economic growth are directly tied to the condition, efficiency, safety and resilience of its transportation system. Wyoming faces a significant transportation funding shortfall that will make it challenging to make the needed improvements to the state’s transportation system that will support a high quality of life and economic growth. An adequate and reliable source of transportation funding is critical to providing the system of roads, highways and bridges that can support commerce within Wyoming and connect the state to markets around the globe, while providing the safe, smooth and efficient mobility that residents require.
TRIP’s “Keeping Wyoming Mobile” report examines the condition, use, safety and efficiency of Wyoming’s surface transportation system and documents needed transportation improvements throughout the state. The report examines the state’s transportation funding challenges, which include a significant funding shortfall, decreasing transportation funding revenue due to increasing fuel efficiency and the adoption of electric vehicles, and decreased purchasing power of existing funds due to inflation.
