Office of Freight Strategy and Policy staff will review the applications and score them to create a prioritized list. The list will be submitted to the Governor’s office by December 1, 2006. The Governor will review the list before sending her selections to the Washington State Legislature. The Legislature then makes the final decision about which projects will be funded.
The application process, purpose for each informational item requested, business plan examples, and the scoring system will be explained at a series of informational workshops. Office of Freight Strategy and Policy staff will be available to answer questions.
Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged. To register for a workshop, contact Joy Dopita at 360-705-7932 or freight@wsdot.wa.gov.
