Practical Solutions is our approach to achieving the WSDOT mission. Practical Solutions guides how we manage the organization and everything we invest in it. It applies to all we do as an efficient 21st century organization, including the way we administer, manage, plan, program, design, construct, operate and maintain each of our services and programs. Through Practical Solutions, we identify and solve problems and needs as quickly and inexpensively as possible, making data-driven and performance-based decisions.
Practical Solutions is one of three agency strategic plan goals; it supports the other two goals of Inclusion and Workforce Development, and they support Practical Solutions.
Practical Solutions is a way of thinking and acting based on WSDOT’s values of safety, engagement, innovation, integrity, leadership and sustainability. Through Practical Solutions, we collaborate with our partners to make the right investments, in the right places, at the right time, using the right approach to achieve an integrated, sustainable transportation system and organization. We work with stakeholders to develop coordinated solutions that address preservation, safety, mobility, economic vitality, stewardship and the environment.
