WSDOT screens commercial vehicles for violations
WSDOT designs, implements and maintains the electronic screening systems used by the Washington State Patrol for commercial vehicle enforcement. The program uses technology along state highways to identify, weigh, and examine vehicles for violations while in motion. This assists law enforcement with targeted enforcement of high-risk carriers and saves time and money for safe and legal carriers.
