The Wyoming Transportation Safety Coalition was formed in early 2013, at the request of Governor Mead, to review and address Wyoming’s high workplace fatality rate in transportation. The Coalition is facilitated by the Wyoming Trucking Association, Inc. Members include representatives from the trucking industry, the energy industry, the rail industry and the insurance industry; a variety of state agencies including the Department of Transportation, Wyoming Highway Patrol, the Department of Workforce Services, the Department of Education, Homeland Security, Governor’s Office; local government and law enforcement; a variety of other state trade associations; the University of Wyoming; as well as several federal agencies such as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Federal Highway Administration and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The official mission of the Coalition is reducing work related transportation fatalities through education, training and working relationships with entities charged with overseeing transportation in Wyoming. The Coalition is a proactive organization working to develop processes which will aid in reducing transportation fatalities on Wyoming’s roadways.
