WSDOT's Public Transportation Division distributes Puget Sound Transit Coordination Grants to projects that increase transit ridership and improve transit riders' travel experience through collaboration among agencies.
Following the passage of I-976, Gov. Inslee directed WSDOT to postpone projects not yet underway. This provides the Governor and the Legislature flexibility to determine how to adjust the funding gap in the 2019-21 transportation budget during the upcoming session.
