怀俄明州长签两项行政令应对高油价 放宽农产品运输限制

据怀俄明州媒体10月2日报道,州长马克·戈登签署两项行政令,应对高油价给农牧业带来的压力:放宽农产品运输车辆的高度与重量限制,并豁免联邦汽车运输安全管理局(FMCSA)的部分工时规定。
行政令允许运输季节性农产品的车辆在收获季超限行驶,并延长司机的连续驾驶时间,以保障农产品及时运出。州长办公室表示,高油价已显著推高农牧场主的运营成本,放松管制是直接有效的纾困手段。
怀俄明州是重要的农牧业州,牛肉与干草等产品依赖公路运输,运输成本占生产成本的比重不小。农牧业团体对行政令表示支持,称这将帮助生产者在收获季维持运转。
行政令的有效期至收获季结束。州交通部门提醒,享受放宽政策的车辆仍须遵守基本的安全规范,超限运输需提前报备路线,确保桥梁与道路安全。
Wyoming Governor Signs Two Executive Orders Easing Farm Transport Rules Amid High Fuel Prices
Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon signed two executive orders October 2 to ease high fuel prices' burden on agriculture: relaxing height and weight limits for farm-product haulers and waiving certain Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration hours-of-service rules, Wyoming media reported.
The orders let trucks hauling seasonal farm goods operate above standard limits during harvest and extend drivers' hours to keep crops moving. The governor's office said high fuel prices have sharply raised ranchers' costs, and regulatory relief is direct, effective help.
Wyoming is a major ranching state where beef and hay depend on trucking, and transport is a sizable share of production costs. Agricultural groups backed the orders, saying they will help producers stay viable through harvest.
The orders run through the end of harvest season. The state transportation department reminded carriers that basic safety rules still apply and that oversize moves need route pre-clearance to protect bridges and roads.
