Finance Committee approves $300,000 WYDOT transit match for FY2025
Summary
The Cheyenne Finance Committee voted unanimously Jan. 6 to recommend a $300,000 agreement with the Wyoming Department of Transportation to provide local match funding for the city’s rural public transit operations in fiscal year 2025.
The Cheyenne Finance Committee on Jan. 6 unanimously recommended a $300,000 agreement with the Wyoming Department of Transportation to provide local matching funds for the city’s rural public transit program for fiscal year 2025.
Vicky Nemechek, Public Works director, told the committee the city is a subrecipient of the state grant and the funds “are revenue to the City.” She said the state grant money may be used “for operations, administration and or maintenance to provide public transportation in Laramie County.”
Committee members asked whether the funds could be used to purchase vans or are limited to maintenance. Nemechek said the award is “match money that we use to match federal federal funds” and that she believed operations would include buses, though she said she could not “swear to that.” The committee did not add conditions.
The item was moved by Finance Committee member Scott Roybal and seconded by Finance Committee member Ken (surname not specified in the transcript). The committee recorded a unanimous recommendation to adopt the agreement at the next governing-body meeting.
The committee did not identify additional restrictions, deadlines, or a formal ordinance number in the transcript.
