JACKSON, Wyo. — The Wyoming Department of Transportation wants to remind residents and travelers about the Wyoming Travel Authorization Program (W-TAP) ahead of the 2021-2022 winter season.

W-TAP allows drivers to apply to receive authorization to travel on sections of otherwise closed roadways when travel is safe.

Travel authorizations are not issued during every road closure.

WYDOT recommends any new or current users to apply or update information before winter arrives. Application processing may take extra time during a winter storm. New and returning users can apply for travel authorization on the W-TAP website.
