An important part of the WY 22 Corridor Project planning and NEPA process is extensive public participation. WYDOT is encouraging a collaborative approach that involves all stakeholders to develop a transportation facility that fits into its surroundings and preserves scenic, aesthetic, historic, and environmental/wildlife resources while improving safety and mobility.

A major part of our public involvement program is the formation of a Project Advisory Committee (PAC). The purpose of the PAC is to provide input on various elements of the project, including identifying issues important to the community and providing feedback on project goals and alternatives.

The PAC functions as a liaison between WYDOT and the community as a whole and helps generate interest in and knowledge about the project. This helps ensure opinions, values, and concerns of the community are shared with the project team, and that information developed by the team is distributed to the broader public.

It is important that the PAC be representative of all the varied interests and viewpoints that exist within the project area. The PAC is comprised of volunteers who represent a variety of local interests, such as corridor residents, businesses, commuters, environmental/wildlife interest groups, emergency services, town and county government, and others with a stake in the project’s outcome. This group ensures that project solutions balance community, technical and long‐range planning needs. The PAC will provide input at key project milestones throughout the planning process. See a list of PAC members here. If you would like to contact a member of the PAC, please do so using the [email protected] email address.
