JOPS - Joint Operations Policy Statement
The Joint Operations Policy Statement (JOPS) documents the joint policy positions between the Washington State Patrol (WSP), the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), and the Washington Fire Chief (WFC) regarding issues of mutual interest in the operations of Washington State Highways and the Washington State Ferries.
Slow down – lives are on the line.
Drive the posted speeds, they’re there for your safety.
Phone down, eyes up.
Pay attention – both to workers directing you and to surrounding traffic.
Stay calm
Expect delays, leave early or take an alternate route if possible; no appointment is worth risking someone’s life.
