WYDOT Says New Software System Will Improve Efficiency, Convenience

The Wyoming Department of Transportation says a new $20 million dollar software system will let people conduct some services without stepping foot in a WYDOT office.

That's according to a WYDOT news release.

According to the release, the RIS software system is outdated at this point, having been installed in 1986.

''RIS is outdated, and it’s become almost impossible for our IT team to maintain it,” said Driver Services Program Manager Misty Zimmerman. “Our new software, MAX, will be much more efficient for Driver Services employees and for the citizens of Wyoming.”

The new MAX system will be available to WYDOT users as oneWYO.

WYDOT Promises Shorter Lines, Less Time Required

The release goes on to say the new system will offer  ""online self-service options, including renewing a driver license, ordering a driving record, scheduling an appointment for a driving test, and more. That means shorter lines for those who do have to go into a Driver Services office, and less time away from work, family and other obligations for the general public."

The Wyoming Legislature passed House Bill 254 in 2021 to implement a new software system.

“We all know the stereotypes commonly associated with visiting ‘the DMV’,” said Zimmerman. “MAX and oneWYO are our latest tools to fight those stereotypes in Wyoming.”

According to the WYDOT release, the new system is expected to go live this summer. WYDOT says it will be announcing office closures for training and similar events in coming weeks
