The harsh weather of Laramie can prove difficult not only for the care of vehicles but also to gain transport around town, especially as a student. Fortunately, there are options available for vehicle care as well as options for alternative transportation. With the proper information a vehicle can be cared for, preventing mechanical issues and better preparing drivers for in-climate conditions. The City of Laramie and the University of Wyoming have recognized student needs and thus supply free alternative transportation. There is also alternative transportation to travel in and out of Laramie from nearby locations.
