Making Vehicle Services Easier To Find

The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT), through its division offices, streamlines finding vehicle services and offers clear guidance on licensing, registration, and permits. In 1991, a state government reorganization renamed the Wyoming Highway Commission to the WYDOT and expanded its duties beyond the highway budget.

Regarding car sales in 2023, Wyoming sold 29,765 new vehicles, with the Ram 1500 leading the market. The Ram 1500 is highly regarded for its ability to handle the state's harsh conditions and varied landscapes due to its robust engine choices and strong off-road capabilities.
