JOPS - Joint Operations Policy Statement
The Joint Operations Policy Statement (JOPS) documents the joint policy positions between the Washington State Patrol (WSP), the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), and the Washington Fire Chief (WFC) regarding issues of mutual interest in the operations of Washington State Highways and the Washington State Ferries.
Slow down – lives are on the line.
In 2023, speeding continued to be a top reason for work zone crashes.
Even one life lost is too many.
Fatal work zone crashes doubled in 2023 - Washington had 10 fatal work zone crashes on state roads.
It's in EVERYONE’S best interest.
95% of people hurt in work zones are drivers, their passengers or passing pedestrians, not just our road crews.
