The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is the steward of a large and robust transportation system, and is responsible for ensuring that people and goods move safely and efficiently. In addition to building, maintaining, and operating the state highway system, WSDOT is responsible for the state ferry system, and works in partnership with others to maintain and improve local roads, railroads, airports, and multi-modal alternatives to driving.

WSDOT, working closely with private contractors, is in the midst of delivering the largest capital construction program in our history—more than $16.3 billion in projects, including 421 highway projects.
