Update state/region system plan

The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) received a Formula Grant award of $523,921.05 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on August 7, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 6, 2029. The primary product delivered through this grant is an updated State Airport System Plan for Wyoming that will benefit airports associated with Cheyenne, Wyoming. This planning initiative supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits by ensuring that Wyoming's airport infrastructure system adequately meets civil aeronautics needs and supports future growth.

As a state transportation agency with extensive experience administering federal transportation grants, WYDOT is well-positioned to execute this planning project and distribute sub-awards to local governments and regional entities as needed to complete the system plan update. The four-year project period accommodates comprehensive planning activities and stakeholder engagement necessary to develop an updated framework for airport infrastructure development and modernization across the state.
