Learn about our community engagement plan, which includes our policy for engagement, shares guidance for practitioners, and lets community members know what to expect.

The 2021 Legislature passed the Healthy Environment for All (HEAL) Act, which requires each covered agency, including Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), to create and adopt a community engagement plan that describes how it will engage with overburdened communities and vulnerable populations.
