Transit programs in Wyoming are administered by WYDOT through the Office of Local Government Coordination. Transit programs are funded through a variety of federal and state programs. Currently all 23 counties have at least one provider of public transportation. Many of the public transportation programs are provided by the senior centers in the area.
Transit programs are divided into four major funding categories:
- Operating Assistance
- Administration Assistance
- Maintenance Assistance
- Capital Assistance
Many of the specific programs allow for multiple categories within each fund type. All are reimbursement programs with varying match ratio required. Please refer to the Grant Management section for additional program specific information.
As part of receiving these monies, the FTA and WYDOT require individuals who receive certain funding types must be a part of a locally derived coordinated plan. A goal of LGC staff is to have coordination at all levels: local, regional and statewide. See Local, Regional and Statewide Coordinated Planning for more information.
