Cheyenne is the crossroads of the Rocky Mountain West. 

• Strategically located at the intersection of Interstate 80 and Interstate 25.
• Cheyenne is a transportation hub for truckers, travelers and tourists.  
• The natural "potty break" stopover for east and westbound vehicles from Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Salt Lake City and Yellowstone Park; for north and southbound travelers from Billings, Casper, Denver and Colorado Springs.
• Commercial hub serving a trade area of over 100,000 residents as far as 60 miles to the north, east and west.
• Cheyenne is the junction of two major railroads.  The Union Pacific and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe main lines cross at Cheyenne.  Both railways maintain large, active switch yards in Cheyenne.
• Energy boom in southeast Wyoming:  Oil, methane and wind power are being harvested, creating jobs and demand for lodging, dining, retail and industrial facilities.
