Federal Reporting
The Recovery Act requires WSDOT to regularly update the Federal Highway Administration on Washington State’s use of stimulus funds.
Accountability is a critical component of WSDOT's delivery of Recovery Act projects. The law requires state transportation departments to regularly update the US Department of Transportation on Washington’s use of transportation stimulus funds. WSDOT also regularly updates a Congressional committee on the status of Recovery Act projects. Please check this site regularly for the monthly updates WSDOT submits to the FHWA and Congress. For more information about state accountability reporting, visit the Governor's Recovery Act Accountability web site.

The Recovery Act requires the state governor to certify each project with a 1511 form before a state or local agency can officially seek federal funding. Governor Gregoire signed the following certifications for WSDOT and local government agency highway and public transportation projects funded by the Recovery Act.
FHWA Reporting
The recipient project status report form (Section 1585) provides the federal government with monthly information on project delivery progress; it must be submitted within 10 days after the end of a month.
Recipient Project Status Reports
WSDOT submits an initial Recovery Act project plan (Section 1586) to FHWA providing project information following each certification. The plan includes details on each project, including the location, description, and anticipated cost.
Initial Recovery Act Project Plan Reports
The monthly summary employment report form (Section 1587) must be submitted within 20 days after the end of a month. This report is used to track how projects are putting people to work.
Employment Reports
Congressional Reporting
Congress is closely monitoring how state and local governments spend Recovery Act funds. Each month Washington State reports to the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure as part of the panel's oversight of federal transportation projects. The monthly reports provide detailed information on projects that had received federal approval for stimulus funding as well as an update of the state’s and Transportation Management Areas’ progress in obligating funds. Each report includes updated spending and employment data.
