Fort Steele rest area temporarily closed

RAWLINS – The Fort Steele rest area on Interstate 80 at Exit 228 was temporarily closed for repairs on March 15.

An internal electric transformer went out, causing a disruption to the electrical controls at the rest area’s water treatment plant.

As a result, the rest area was closed until the new part arrived and was installed on March 19. The rest area has reopened.

Pursuit ends safely north of Casper CASPER – A Colorado resident is in custody following a pursuit March 13.

The pursuit began north of Casper on Interstate 25.

Randy Duran, a 27-year-old resident of Commerce City, Colorado, was arrested after fleeing a traffic stop on I-25.

Duran was stopped on I-25 after driving around a road closure gate in a 2018 Dodge Ram. Duran fled from a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper after failing to produce identification. The vehicle was pursued north on I-25, before exiting onto WYO 259. Around milepost 21 on WYO 259, a trooper attempted to perform a Tactical Vehicle Intervention (TVI) maneuver to bring the pursuit to an end. The trooper’s patrol vehicle became lodged with the suspect vehicle.

Duran drove into the patrol vehicle forcing the WHP vehicle into delineator posts on the side of the roadway. Another trooper in the pursuit was able to use his patrol vehicle to dislodge the first patrol vehicle from the suspect vehicle.

The pursuit continued north on WYO 259 for few more miles before a Natrona County deputy was able to deploy spike strips to deflate the suspect vehicle’s tires successfully. The Dodge exited WYO 259

and entered County Road 115 before the suspect vehicle became disabled in an adjacent private driveway. The suspect was arrested without incident after fleeing on foot for a short distance.

Due to the winter storm, all roadways in the area were closed at the time of the pursuit.

After confirming Duran’s identity, it was learned he had an active warrant for his arrest out of Colorado. Duran faces charges of eluding, driving under suspension, running road closed gate, reckless driving, warrant for arrest, as well as felony charges. He was booked into the Natrona County Jail.

Natrona County Sheriff ’s Office assisted the patrol with this event.

Conditions force temporary closure of Hoback Canyon for avalanche mitigation JACKSON – Warming temperatures and recent additional snow accumulations are putting several local stretches of highway at risk for avalanches. The Wyoming Department of Transportation closed US 189/191 Hoback Canyon for avalanche mitigation at noon on March 7 to address the increasing risk to travelers.

WYDOT maintenance crews were able to bring down a 10-foot tall, 60-foot wide controlled slide from the Cow of the Woods slide path in the Hoback Canyon. The avalanche team will be closely monitoring US 26/89 through the Snake River Canyon and WYO 22 over Teton Pass, as well and continuing to monitor US 189/191 through the Hoback Canyon.

US 189/191 was reopened mid afternoon on March 7.

Warming temperatures and more snow could force unplanned closures for avalanche control work in all three areas.

Bridge deck repairs underway on Garner Lake Road and I-90 overpass GILLETTE – WYDOT and S&S Builders LLC began work on rehabbing the bridge deck and abutments on Garner Lake Road and Interstate-90 overpass.

Preliminary work of setting up traffic control has been completed and the demolition work has started.

Traffic will be diverted to the southbound lane in phase one of the project, which is scheduled to be completed by mid-June. Upon the completion of the northbound lane, traffic will then be switched over to that lane and work will continue on the southbound lane and run until mid to late fall.

“WYDOT annually inspects all bridges and found this bridge did not meet WYDOT standards,” said Gillette Resident Engineer Josh Jundt. “Due to signs of fatigue in the abutments of the bridge they are being replaced in an effort to extend the life of the structure.”

There are no detours or closures scheduled. A posted speed limit of 30 mph and an 11-foot width restriction will be in place and enforced throughout the work zone. Flaggers will be present to help direct traffic during the day as necessary.

GILLETTE – WYDOT and Simon Contractors began working on widening WYO 50 from West Lakeway Road south to Southern Drive on April 1.

This project is along WYO 50 beginning at the south leg of the intersection with West Lakeway Road, and extending south for approximately 2.06 miles through the intersection with Southern Drive ending at milepost 5.08.

The purpose of this project is to upgrade the highway to current standards, improve safety and increase the capacity of this section of highway. WYO 50 has seen an increase in traffic resulting in congestion, higher frequency of crashes at intersections and an increase in large and oversize loads supporting the energy industry, thus warranting the need for the upgrade.

The existing route is primarily a twolane roadway with dedicated turning lanes at major intersections including Hamilton Street, Washington Street, Hidden Valley Road, Force Road/4J Road and Southern Drive. This project will widen the existing rural two-lane roadway to a five-lane section with curb and gutter.

Travel lanes will be 12-feet wide with a continuous 11-foot center left turn lane.

“This is an urban project within city limits but the roadway is part of the Wyoming Department of Transportations system,” said Gillette Resident Engineer Josh Jundt. “WYDOT will be working closely with the city of Gillette but WYDOT will be administering the project. Any questions or concerns should be directed to either myself or Mike Bush who will be project lead on this job.”

In order to complete the project on time, and decrease the impact to the traveling public, a portion of WYO 50 from West Lakeway Road to Force/4J Road will be closed from May 28 through August 17. The detour route will be west on Lakeway Road to Oakcrest Drive, south to 4J Road and then back onto WYO 50.

No detour will be allowed while school is in session. The detour is not on an established truck route and through truck traffic will need to use Interstate 90, WYO 59 and Southern Drive.

Residents of Spring Hill Road and Patriot Estates will have access at all times as will all businesses located along WYO 50.

In addition, a 10-foot multi-use path will be installed on the east side of the road to provide continuity with the pathway located north of the project and also provide a connection to the city of Gillette pathway system within the project limits. A 5-foot sidewalk will be installed on the west side of the project.

A temporary signal presently exists at the Lakeway Road intersection and at the 4J Road/Force Road intersection. Both temporary signals will be replaced with permanent signals as part of this project.

Striping crews prepare to paint highways LANDER – Wyoming Department of Transportation striping crews are preparing to begin striping highways in central and northwest Wyoming next week, and crews are asking for help from drivers.

“We really need people to give us a ‘brake’. Spring striping is center line striping, which is a 15 mph process,” said WYDOT Rural Striping Foreman Dan Hahn of Lander.

“Please slow down.”

WYDOT’s urban striping crew will start its spring striping in early April, and WYDOT’s rural crew will launch its spring/summer striping season about April 1. All work is dependent upon favorable weather.

“We are focusing our efforts on highways south of Wind River Canyon right now, especially with the wet weather we’ve been receiving,” Hahn said.

WYDOT’s urban striping crew will start its work north of Wind River Canyon about April 8, according to WYDOT urban striping foreman Joseph Keele of Basin.

Hahn offers tips for drivers and citizens who encounter WYDOT striping crews: • Decrease speed–it’s the law;

D5

• Pay attention to digital message boards near the striping operation; • Do not pass in and out of striping equipment. If possible, and if it’s safe and legal, pass all vehicles at once; • Don’t forget about Wyoming’s Move Over Law; drivers must slow down to

20 mph below the posted speed limit on two-lane highways, or move over at reduced speeds on multi-lane highways, when approaching WYDOT vehicles/workers with flashing yellow lights.

Blue Sky Highway improvement project work resumes near Ethete LANDER – Spring roadway improvements are underway on the $14.63 million highway improvement project on WYO 132 between Ethete and US 287.

Prime contractor High Country Construction Inc., of Lander, has mobilized equipment and crews to work on irrigation structures and installing culverts through the new alignment of the new roadway.

“Work will impact traffic traveling through the project and reduced speed limits and flagging operations will be in place throughout the remainder of the project,” according to Wyoming Department of Transportation Project Engineer Brian Martin of Lander. “Dirt work operations will pick up as temperatures warm and the days get longer.”

Martin said more than six miles of new project right-of-way fencing was built through the winter work season and new irrigation lines and diversion boxes are nearing completion. The existing asphalt roadway will be milled to a gravel base in the next two months and will remain unpaved until crushed gravel base grade is finished and asphalt paving operations begin this summer.

Improvements on the Blue Sky highway improvement project, prior to the contract completion date of Oct. 31 include grading, draining, milling asphalt pavement, placing gravel pit run and crushed gravel, asphalt paving, chip sealing, electrical work and other work on seven miles of WYO 132 north of Lander.

Snow plow struck on WYO 120 between Thermopolis and Meeteetse THERMOPOLIS – As Wyoming residents began digging out from the blizzard that rocked southern and eastern Wyoming on March 13, drivers were reminded to drive slower on slick roads and avoid passing plow trucks.

An example of what not to do happened on March 7 between Thermopolis and Meeteetse in northwest Wyoming. A Wyoming Department of Transportation plow truck was struck by an oil field service truck attempting to pass on the right side of the plow truck in a multi-lane section of WYO 120 near Grass Creek.

Another plow truck was hit from behind on March 13 in southern Wyoming during the blizzard which caused limited visibility and closures on Interstate 80 and other highways.

The March 7 crash in northwest Wyoming involved a driver passing a plow truck on the right side as the plow pushed snow toward the right side of the

highway with use of a wing plow. According to the Wyoming Highway Patrol, the oil field truck driver attempted to pass the slow-moving plow truck and was unable to see the deployed wing plow due to the ever-present snow cloud being kicked up in the air from plowing operations.

After colliding with the plow truck, the oil field truck turned/slid in front of the WYDOT plow truck, and the plow truck driver was able to turn left and avoid another collision.

“Both vehicles crossed the center line and continued to the south before crossing the south fog line, entering the shoulder, colliding with and passing through the right-of-way fence and coming to a rest on the southern slope of the gulley,” said Wyoming Highway Patrol Trooper Jason Venable.

Neither the WYDOT driver or oil field truck driver sustained injuries.

The plow truck sustained minor damage to the passenger side windows, wing plow and front plow during the collision and subsequent crash through the fence.

The oil field truck, a flatbed/straight truck with large diameter piping used to pump/ transfer fluids, received damage to the underbelly storage box and front driver’s side headlight area.

WYDOT Meeteetse Maintenance Foreman Shawn Coggins said it’s important for citizens to realize that WYDOT plow trucks are out on the highways during and after snow storms.

Coggins said snow plow professionals need cooperation from drivers so they can do their jobs and keep the road safe for drivers. Simply, give them room to operate.

“Stay well back from operating snow plows,” Coggins said. “They are spreading sand, anti-icing and de-icing chemicals

Project construction is scheduled to begin in early 2020.

Citizens were welcomed to meet with city and WYDOT officials about the project. The project will include improvements to curb, gutter, sidewalks, street concrete slabs and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramps between 10th Street and Stampede Avenue in Cody.

Two-way traffic will be maintained – one lane in each direction – along Sheridan Avenue during the project.

on the roadway. It’s always a good idea to stay back from snow plows while their operators are doing their jobs. We still get people passing the plow truck at inappropriate times. Sometimes it takes a little time, but we’ll get out of the way when it’s safe. If we’re not moving over for drivers, it’s because it’s not safe.”

North Federal project public meeting held in Riverton RIVERTON – Citizens were invited to attend a March 21 public meeting at the Riverton City Hall concerning the second year of the $13.96 million North Federal Boulevard highway improvement project in Riverton.

Project construction is scheduled to begin March 25.

“This will be a challenging year of construction on North Federal Boulevard,” said Wyoming Department of Transportation Resident Engineer Robert Scheidemantel of Riverton. “This area of Riverton has limited access due to a lack of alleys and side streets.”

Prime contractor S&S Builders LLC, of Gillette, were in attendance to discuss the 2019 construction schedule and answer questions. WYDOT and city of Riverton personnel were also be available to share information and answer questions.

The $13.96 million North Federal Boulevard (US 26/WYO 789) project bid was awarded to S&S Builders LLC, of Gillette, in September 2017.

The northern phase of the project is scheduled for 2019; it includes improvements between Burger King and Walgreens on North Federal Boulevard.

By contract, S&S Builders is required to maintain two-way traffic at all times during construction.

Stolen vehicle leads to identity theft and stolen property CODY – On Feb. 27, a trooper with the Wyoming Highway Patrol stopped a U-Haul truck near milepost 120 on WYO 120, north of Cody. During the contact, the state trooper could smell the odor of marijuana and was notified the U-Haul truck was stolen.

A search of the driver revealed different identification, prescription drugs that didn’t belong to the driver, and a felony amount of methamphetamine. The driver has been identified as 24-year-old Phoenix, Arizona resident Austin Kelly. Kelly was arrested without incident.

A search warrant executed on the vehicle turned up a loaded pistol, prescription drugs, marijuana, methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, and drug packaging.

Also discovered was what appeared to be stolen tobacco products, power tools, jewelry, clothing, watches, knives and coins.

The WHP has located one victim from Phoenix, Arizona who had cash and credit cards stolen. The WHP is currently working with Wyoming DCI, ATF, FBI, and surrounding agencies to identify more victims.

Fremont County law enforcement officers arrest 6 drunk drivers St. Patrick’s Day weekend RIVERTON – As part of a countywide, multi-agency DUI enforcement operation this past St. Patrick’s Day weekend, Fremont County law enforcement officers arrested six drunk drivers from March 15-17.

During the three-day operation, area law enforcement made 244 traffic stops and issued 44 speeding citations, 5 seat belt citations and 54 other citations, arrested 12 people on other violations and issued 202 warnings.

Fremont County law enforcement agencies are working together as part of a county-wide, multi-agency traffic enforcement operation in 2019. The St. Patrick’s Day weekend operation was the third of at least six planned operations in Fremont County for the year. The next operation is scheduled in May. The purpose of operations is to reduce fatal crashes in Fremont County through enforcement of impaired driving and seat belt laws. Focused enforcement efforts are surrounded by a media campaign that stresses law enforcement’s zero-tolerance stance on impaired driving and commitment to seat belt enforcement.

Partners in the campaign include Injury Prevention Resources and Wyoming Department of Transportation. n

Prestigious Valor Run comes ‘home’ to Wyoming

April 2019

She ran her first marathon with her husband in 2017 and absolutely hated it. Torres didn’t run for a year after that. Needing to get back into running, she saw a local Valor Run 5k/10k/halfmarathon advertised in her area and decided to sign up.

Alongside the trail of that run she noticed photos – women she went to boot camp with, women she had served with – women she had considered friends. She asked someone involved with the run what the photos were all about. That was the moment she learned about the Valor Run 161-miler. Those women on the photos lining the run – the ones she went to boot camp with, the ones she served with – they had given the ultimate sacrifice. Torres knew she wanted to honor those women.

“This run is not just ground distance covered but lives lost,” said Torres. “I want to offer peace of mind or a sense of hope to all the friends and family these ladies left behind, that their loved one’s legacy still lives on. Someone will always remember them and their sacrifice.”

Once she had been selected as the 2019 runner for the Valor Run 161-miler, she began contacting running coaches. They each showed interest until she told them she would be running this mileage in Wyoming. A few told her it couldn’t be done – living in Virginia would be a disadvantage because of the lower elevation.

Determined, Torres has been training with an elevation mask to simulate the hypoxic condition of running at an altitude of 5,000 feet in elevation or higher. Along with the mask, she has focused her training on distance endurance and running hills.

Although, she knows running into the wind from Cheyenne to Rawlins may just be the most difficult part of this arduous journey. She hoped, jokingly, for a lack of wind that week along Wyoming’s southeast corridor.

Torres will be running back roads paralleling I-80 from Cheyenne to Rawlins. With luck, we might all have a chance at seeing her run this amazing distance honoring this nation’s fallen women warriors.

By Carlie Van Winkle Wyoming native and U.S. Marine, Pamela Torres, will set out to run 161 miles from Cheyenne to Rawlins on May 26. Torres didn’t choose the 161 miles out of thin air, so to speak.

The Valor Run 161-miler is an event honoring the 161 women who have died supporting combat operations since 9/11.

There is only one Valor Run 161-miler event each year and through the application process and months of waiting, out of more than 20 applicants, Torres was chosen as the runner for 2019. She was allowed a running destination of choice and she decided that coming home to Wyoming was what she was going to do.

“I am comfortable in Wyoming,” said Torres. “It is home. It is where my family, my support system is.”

Torres was born in Cheyenne and was raised in Rawlins.

After graduating from Rawlins High School, she enlisted in the Marines. Throughout her military career with the Marines, she deployed to Kuwait in 2003 followed by a deployment to Iraq and has been stationed in North Carolina, Michigan, New Jersey, Florida and now, Virginia.

In 2016, she turned to running to find relief from the stressors she encountered in her day-to-day workplace environment.

WYDOT crews worked continuously throughout two-day historic storm in March

By Aimee Inama

Wyoming Department of Transportation crews worked extended hours and shifted additional personnel to needed locations throughout the state to help battle the historic March 13-14, 2019 storm.

WYDOT moved equipment and personnel from District 5, to the southern, central and southeastern areas to help.

The winter storm, sometimes referred to as Ulmer, became a “bomb cyclone” on March 13, which brought fierce blizzard conditions to Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska. The storm’s low quickly intensified throughout the day, creating a bombogenesis where the low pressure drops by 24 millibars in 24 hours or less.

As a result, parts of Wyoming had large snowfall amounts, blowing snow, windy conditions and poor visibility. The eastern side of the state had blizzard conditions.

Snowfall totals ranged throughout the state to as little as a half an inch to as much as 18 inches.

WYDOT crews worked extended shifts, slept in their vehicles or at the maintenance shops and continuously worked the roads to keep up with snow removal efforts.

“I am proud of the hard work the men and women of WYDOT have done during this historic storm,” said WYDOT Director Luke Reiner. “Their work during the storm and the preplanning we did helped WYDOT meet its mission of providing a safe, high quality and efficient transportation system.”

Road closures along interstates 80, 25 and 90 and other state highways started on March 13 and continued into March 14.

The roads began reopening midday on March 14, with all but three local volume roads reopening by the evening. I-80 had the longest closures due to crews encountering snowdrifts as high as 10 feet.

“We diverted additional crew and equipment to help with snow removal efforts in the areas of the state that were hit the hardest by the storm,” said Mark Gillett, WYDOT assistant chief engineer for Operations. “Although we did have closures, our crews worked hard to get those roads reopened as soon as possible. Having all roads open within a few hours after the end of the storm, except for three secondary highways, was amazing

and a testament to the commitment of our maintenance folks. I commend our crews for their work and dedication to the people of Wyoming.”

Gov. Mark Gordon praised the work of WYDOT and the Wyoming Highway Patrol during the storm and for their assistance to stranded travelers.

“First responders, our troopers and snow plow teams have been at this for hours now, and everyone’s efforts show that Wyomingites handle themselves well,” Gordon said in a news release March 14.

District 1

In southeast Wyoming, conditions were worse north and east of Cheyenne with blizzard conditions creating poor visibility and large snowdrifts. However, there were also several areas in Albany and Carbon that were bad, too.

“Plows stayed on the roads while they were closed, except when visibility was too low to see the road,” said Tye Fix, area maintenance supervisor out of Laramie. “We just had a lot of snow that we had to deal with not only during the storm but after.”

When the roads closed, WYDOT crews did a sweep of the closure to ensure there were no stranded motorists. One motorist was stranded on WYO 216 about a half mile west of Albin, but the local fire department was able to get to that person.

In addition, some drivers were stuck in snowdrifts on WYO 130 between Laramie and Centennial, and WYDOT crews came to their assistance.

In the Pine Bluffs area, blizzard conditions blew snow into most of the underpasses, blocking roads. The worst was near Egbert but crews had to clear almost all underpasses.

Snowfall amounts in southeast Wyoming varied from 8 to 12 inches with some spots of the Laramie Range getting about 2 feet.

District 2 Near Casper, conditions started deteriorating quickly on March 13. As the storm progressed that day, closures along I-25 and the other roads started. By the evening, almost all the roads in east central Wyoming closed.

Crews had to first deal with digging out WYDOT shops to get the equipment out to maintain the roads. Some of the WYDOT shops had snow blown in front of the doors.

Once crews got on the roads, they encountered snowdrifts that were too deep for the plows.

“We had a snowdrift that was 1,000 feet long and 5 feet deep on WYO 387 (near Pine Tree junction) that blocked the entire road on a three-lane super at milepost 127,” said Van Frazier, District 2 area maintenance supervisor. “It took about six hours, five plow trucks and a motor grader to get this drift moved so we could get the road open.”

The additional equipment and crew members were critical in the central part of the state battling the storm.

“The Kaycee and Midwest crews are very short of crew members so this help from District 5 was very critical and greatly appreciated,” Frazier said. “They all did a fantastic job.”

In some locations along I-25, crews encountered cross roads and underpasses that had been blown shut with 4-foot high snowdrifts with some as tall as an 8-yard truck. The central and east central parts of the state got between 12 to 18 inches of snow.

es are no longer available for additional vehicles. Trucks traveling along I-80 filled truck parking facilities to wait out the storm.

“Although we did get some snow, we didn’t have the snow totals and high winds that they were seeing in District 1 (southeastern Wyoming),” said Tory Thomas, district maintenance engineer. “And we were ready to assist them if needed.”

District 3

In the northeastern part of the state, crews worked continuously to get the roads cleared as fast as possible. Crews pretreated some of the roads with brine and beet juice, prepared additional equipment and shifted other resources within the northeastern part of the state as necessary.

“Many of our employees and supervisors, literally ‘camped out’ at shops instead of going home,” said Scott Taylor, district engineer for District 4 in the northeast part of the state. “First and foremost, they ensured their families were safe and secure,

but then instead of going home, because it may have been impossible and impractical, they elected to stay at the shop to rest. This ensured a quicker and more efficient level of service to the public and our roadways during the storm.”

Snowfall totals in northeastern Wyoming varied from a couple of inches to 8 inches.

District 5 The northwestern part of the state was vital in the snow removal efforts. WYDOT sent a lot of the resources from that area to other parts that were hit the hardest by the storm.

The equipment sent included two lowboys, two tow plows, two motor graders and five snow plows. About 16 crew members from the northwest also went to other parts of the state to help.

At no time, however, was any part of the state without equipment of personnel. The northwestern part of the state received about a half an inch of snow near Riverton and less in other parts.

“We brought at least 20 percent of workers and fleet from our district down to I-80 and I-25 and other areas,” said Cody Beers, public relations specialist in the northwest section for WYDOT. “This is the second time this winter our district has helped in the southern and central portions of Wyoming. Our crews are dedicated and willing to help whenever they can.

They were eager to help their fellow crew members and help get the roads reopened for the traveling public.”

The text pages had about 18.5 million hits on March 13 and 15.2 million on March 14.

WYDOT’s Authorized Travel (WAT) program received 45 calls on March 13 and 9,359 on March 14. The WAT program authorizes travelers who are previously approved permission to travel on certain sections of closed roads, providing those sections are safe.

Motorists also used the 511 phone system to stay up to date with 9,359 calls on March 13 and 19,446 on March 14.

WYDOT also had new downloads during the storm for the 511 app. There were 2,249 new downloads for Android devices for a total of 90,740 total downloads and 2,921 new downloads for iOS or Apple devices for a total of 102,616 total downloads. n

The public also relied on WYDOT’s 511 website, 511 phone system and the 511 smartphone app to keep them updated about road conditions and closures.

Statistics from the 511 website showed the map had about 9.6 million hits on March 13 and 9.9 million hits on March 14.

Noteworthy Governor’s Council on Impaired Driving launched a new video March 12.

Wyoming drivers are urged to consider, “What Will You Lose?” As part of ongoing efforts to bring attention to the consequences of impaired driving, the Governor’s Council on Impaired Driving (GCID) released a video message on March 12 developed in partnership with the Wyoming Department of Corrections. The video can be viewed at: https://vimeo.com/323210943.

Every day in Wyoming, someone gets behind the wheel, drunk or high, and risks the safety of everyone around them.

Some people may not consider the consequences, assuming, “it will never happen to me.”

In 2018, there were 697 alcohol-involved traffic crashes of which 32 were fatal crashes and 270 were injury crashes.

This represents a four percent increase in alcohol-involved crashes from 2017.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration figures for highway deaths caused by drunk driving are sobering. The worst states, per capita, are Wyoming, South Carolina, North

WHP launches program to increase statewide agricultural transportation safety

gcid

Through an extensive promotional process, the WHP selected Alyssa Meyers to make agency history as the first ever ASPC for the Patrol. Before being selected as the ASPC, Meyers was a Port of Entry Officer at the Cheyenne I-80 Port. Meyers has been a member of the WHP since April of 2015. Meyers brings a strong agricultural background to this position to include previous memberships in 4-H and Future Farmers of America along with degrees in Agricultural Business Administration and Agricultural Sciences from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. n

By Sgt. Jeremy Beck The Wyoming Highway Patrol (WHP) recently launched a new program within the Patrol to help increase agricultural transportation safety within Wyoming. A need was identified to increase agricultural transportation safety awareness as agriculture is one of Wyoming’s leading industries in the state. Patrol approached this need by creating an Agricultural Safety Program Coordinator (ASPC) position within the Patrol’s Commercial Carrier Section.

The ASPC will be the WHP liaison to several agricultural industry organizations, including 4-H, FFA, Wyoming Livestock Board, University of Wyoming Agriculture Extension, local Co-op’s, agricultural insurance agencies, Wyoming High School Rodeo Association, and College Rodeo Association. The ASPC will be responsible for ensuring satisfactory practices are adhered to in Wyoming’s agricultural transportation industry while making certain all requirements are being met during the transportation of agricultural products throughout the state of Wyoming, primarily through collaborative During any given season, agricultural trucks of all types can be seen traveling the education efforts. interstates and highways of Wyoming.

Dakota, New Mexico and Alabama, as compiled by Safewise.com.

Wyoming, which ranked eighth in 2016, rose to the top of the list in 2017 and replaced Montana as the worst per capita state for drunk driving fatalities in the nation.

To draw attention to the consequences of driving impaired in Wyoming, GCID is launching a video featuring Joseph Campbell, an inmate housed at the Wyoming Honor Farm in Riverton, speaking about what he’s lost because of his decision to drive while impaired.

In 2016, Campbell was involved in an aggravated homicide by motor vehicle, driving while under the influence and causing serious bodily injury. One of the three people he killed was the mother of his two children and the other two victims were his friends.

“Alcohol and drugs can affect your judgement, depth perception, and the vital motor skills required to drive safely,” said Wyoming Highway Patrol Col. Kebin Haller. “Drunk driving is not only a moral issue, but a Governor’s Council crime, and the solution to this on Impaired Driving problem does not just rest in the hands of law enforcement. Every licensed driver in Wyoming has the ability to make a conscious choice not to drive impaired.

There is always a better option. Keep our roadways safe by not drinking and driving.” n
