Bill opens the door for tolling on Wyoming roadways

Wyoming lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) to enact tolls on roadways throughout the state.

On February 5, 2026, Wyoming Senator Ogden Driskill introduced the bill SF0073.

The bill would give WYDOT the authority to create a highway tolling program, and it also outlines the process for implementing tolls. The bill does not require WYDOT to implement tolls.

The text of the bill does not specify which roads WYDOT could choose for tolling, but Driskill pointed to I-80 as a possible target for tolls in a social media post following a double fatality crash that backed up traffic along the interstate on February 8, 2026.

“A picture says it all— Wyoming needs to deal with I-80 – incredibly dangerous stretch of road (400 plus miles) that drains nearly 1/2 of our state road budget—- to support 7,000 plus semis a day, primarily only stopping for fuel in Wyoming. I have introduced a bill that allows-NOT REQUIRES- tolling on I-80. Done correctly it could have little or no impact on Wyoming drivers while having interstate truckers pay their fair share of damage and costs,” Driskill said.

If the bill were to pass, it isn’t clear whether Wyoming would be permitted to place a toll on I-80 since most interstate are toll-free, with some “grandfathered” exceptions.

The bill currently has six co-sponsors.
