The list of Washington State’s priorities for the FY11 FHWA Discretionary Grant Programs was submitted to FHWA by WSDOT on Friday, June 3, 2011. This was an extremely accelerated process established by FHWA, with stringent short-term deadlines for many of the programs. WSDOT was required to submit a list of priorities to FHWA within 4 weeks of the call for projects. WSDOT asked for assistance from metropolitan and regional transportation planning organizations in the state by reviewing projects for consistency with our respective long-range plans. MPOs/RTPOs were also asked to provide input on regional priorities, but WSDOT conducted the process to evaluate all projects submitted throughout the state and recommended a list of priority projects under each program to FHWA. Given the limited amount of funding available nationally for these programs, we may expect to see only a few projects funded in Washington State. The list of project recommendations from WSDOT may be found here.
