Cheyenne Area Transportation Master Plan

Meet Connect 2045: The Cheyenne area’s new Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for all modes of travel, including car, bike, pedestrian, transit, and freight. 

What’s Connect 2045?

Connect 2045 identifies transportation investments necessary for Cheyenne / Laramie County to thrive for the next 25 years. 

What happens next?

The Connect 2045 plan is officially approved! Now, the City of Cheyenne, Laramie County and WYDOT will be able to begin the planning, design and construction of the federally funded transportation planning projects included in the plan.

We’ve also combined the Future Transportation and Land Use Plans into one map!

Along with completing and adopting the Master Transportation Plan, the City and County adopted an updated and revised Future Land Use Plan. To view this new map, which combines the Future Transportation and Land Use Plans into one, click the link below.

About PlanCheyenne

Adopted by the City of Cheyenne in 2006, PlanCheyenne is an award-winning, community-driven plan that charts the Cheyenne area’s course for the future.

Created with the extensive involvement of citizens, city and county officials, and planners, PlanCheyenne represents Cheyenne’s approach to growing as a “community of choice” and contains three major components:

Community Plan, addressing our community’s basic form and land-use patterns;

Parks and Recreation Master Plan, addressing our community’s parks and recreation needs; and

Transportation Master Plan, addressing our community’s current and future transportation needs
