Bill > HB0034

This bill authorizes a $750,000 efficiency study of the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), to be conducted by an independent third party in consultation with the joint transportation, highways and military affairs interim committee. The study will comprehensively evaluate WYDOT's operations, including reviewing its rules, policies, procedures, staffing, resource distribution, design and construction practices, and standard engineering specifications. A key component of the study will be an anonymous employee survey to identify potential efficiency improvements and cost savings. The independent third party will be required to provide a final report by July 1, 2026, detailing potential efficiencies, recommendations for achieving those efficiencies, and suggestions for changes to statutes, rules, policies, or procedures. The appropriated funds will only be distributed after April 1 and are contingent on the simultaneous passage of two other related house bills (HB0029 and HB0033). The bill aims to improve the operational effectiveness and performance of the state's transportation department through a thorough, external review process.
