Wyoming Intercity Bus Service Study
Started: June, 2015 Ended: June, 2016 Project ID #4W5481 Status: Completed
Results & Findings

As described in the final report, the network connectivity analysis showed that approximately 51% of the population of Wyoming (about 300,821 people) is served by national ICB service providers, including 17 of the 28 largest cities in the state. The results from the network connectivity analysis and the survey were used as a basis to help define “meaningful connections” and six specific routes that could expand access to intercity bus services in Wyoming. This research also provided a methodology that can be used by WYDOT to determine intercity bus service needs are being adequately met. The methodology consists of an annual process to support existing intercity bus services and a triennial process to determine if there is the need for new services.
