The Washington Transportation Plan Vision 2050 is a transportation policy plan for all of Washington state. It provides an overarching transportation policy framework along with strategies for use by state, regional, and local jurisdictions and entities statewide who publish a transportation plan or operate a form of transportation. This policy plan was completed by the Washington State Transportation Commission (WSTC) in 2025.
