Traffic Services provides traffic engineering assistance to cities, counties, and tribal governments of any size and to other agencies. We serve as a contact point between local agencies, tribal governments, WSDOT, Federal Highway Administration, and other state agencies. Our purpose is to assist with safety, operations and design issues, advance projects, and promote the sharing of information. We also administer federal safety funding to cities and counties.
