Our commitment
Our mission is to provide safe, reliable and cost-effective transportation options to improve communities and economic vitality for people and businesses. As the steward of the statewide multimodal transportation system, WSDOT understands the effects that transportation infrastructure has had on overburdened communities and vulnerable populations.
Community engagement is central to the environmental justice assessment process, and we want to hear from you. WSDOT is excited to begin this new process and work with community-based organizations, Tribes and individuals across the state to inform and improve our agency decisions.
We offer free language services about our programs and services for people whose primary language is not English. To request these services, or to learn more about what we can provide, contact William Golding (information below).
