Local Public Agency Certification 

All Day Event (8:00 to 5:00)

Beginning with the fiscal year 2012, WYDOT requires that federally funded local projects be overseen by a certified representative of the local agency. Certification will be valid for three years, after which recertification will be required. Federal requirements can be overwhelming to local agencies, especially if federal funds are infrequently used. The goal is to assist local agencies in bringing projects to successful completion.
