Field review with permitting agency

WSDOT works with Native American Tribes and regulatory agencies at the federal, state, and local level to ensure that our projects comply with all environmental regulations. The resulting permits and approvals enable our agency to build, manage and operate the state’s highway and act as stewards of the environment.

This page provides WSDOT staff with information about permits for WSDOT work and
is intended for a technical audience.
