Heads Up, Wyoming truckers!

At the direction of the Wyoming state legislature, the Wyoming Department of Transportation has hired a consultant to do a feasibility study on tolling I-80. As part of the study, WYDOT is asking for public comment regarding this proposal.  A series of public meetings were held from mid-June through mid-July, however, the department was surprised and disappointed by the lack of comments they received from the trucking community.

If you use I-80 through Wyoming and would like to “weigh in” on this proposal, you are urged to contact WYDOT to voice your concerns and opinions about tolling I-80 through Wyoming.  You may contact WYDOT by mail at Timothy McDowell, WYDOT Planning Program, 5300 Bishop Blvd., Cheyenne, WY 82009-3340 or by email at tollingstudy@dot.state.wy.us.

Remember: increased tolls across this country will become a reality unless we get involved and make our voices heard!  Please let your state know how you feel about tolls on any road and especially existing interstate highways!
