Description
WSDOT’s Public Transportation Division administers this competitive, state-funded program to improve connectivity between counties and regional population centers and reduce transportation delay. It supports vehicle and equipment purchases, capital construction, operating projects, and transportation demand management. The program seeks cost-effective projects that deliver public benefits as quickly as possible.
Supported work includes transit vehicles and charging infrastructure, passenger facilities, transit-priority improvements, expanded bus services, and programs encouraging transit, walking, biking, ridesharing, or teleworking. Pilot projects are eligible when they meet program requirements. WSDOT evaluates proposals and submits a prioritized project list for legislative funding consideration, emphasizing reduced delay, improved multimodal connections, measurable reductions in vehicle travel, and readiness to proceed.
