About

Even before President Barack Obama signed the Recovery Act into law on Feb. 17, 2009, WSDOT team moved quickly to get stimulus funds moving into the economy. In the first year, Recovery Act projects have created or sustained thousands of jobs with an average hourly wage of $37 an hour, supporting our economy and preserving our transportation infrastructure.

It is easy to get lost in the numbers. Perhaps it is most important to consider the faces of the Recovery Act - the men and women who through their hard work made our roads safer and helped preserve our system. You can see in this report that these men and women were grateful for the opportunity to bring home a paycheck. We, in turn, remain grateful for their tremendous effort, and high quality work.
