This study will evaluate funding and services offered by four state agencies providing local transportation services -- the County Road Administration Board, the Transportation Improvement Board, the Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board, and WSDOT's highways and local programs division. The principle objective is to identify opportunities to streamline governance and organization, and to identify whether there are more efficient ways to distribute transportation funds and provide services to local governments. The goal is to increase efficiencies while effectively meeting local governments' needs. A policy workgroup composed of legislators and a member of the Governor's staff will oversee the study. A technical staff workgroup will provide support.
