Formed in 2003, by the Transportation Permit Efficiency and Accountability Committee (TPEAC), the Multi-Agency Permitting Team (MAP Team) is a partnership between five agencies that work out of the same office to permit state transportation projects in a responsive and transparent manner.  Additional information about the MAP Team can be found in the MAP Team Business and Operations Plan (pdf 81kb). 

The MAP Team permit process results in:

• Increased Permitting Predictability
• Increased Inter-Agency Early Project Coordination
• Increased Inter-Agency Accessibility
• Improved Inter-Agency Relationships
• Effective Mitigation

The MAP Team is physically located at the Department of Ecology’s Northwest Regional Office in Bellevue, Washington. Agencies represented on the MAP Team are:

• Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)
• Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology)
• Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW)
• United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)
• King County Department of Development and Environmental Services (KC DDES)
