Citylitics impact: Intelligence Feeds surfaces early owner, agency, utility, planning, funding, and procurement-preparation signals. Capital Projects Dashboard connects those signals to future spend. Grant Funding Dashboards and Procurement Feeds add theme-specific context so teams can prioritize, prepare, and act before procurement compresses the timeline.
Procurement preparation

Washington Roads & Highways Owners and Delivery Paths

WSDOT owns and operates the state highway system and also administers funding programs used by local agencies. State-led preservation and improvement projects, locally delivered road and bridge work, and federally funded projects therefore follow different owner and procurement schedules within the broader Washington transportation program.
WSDOT as State Highway Owner
WSDOT is responsible for preserving and improving the state highway system, including pavement and bridge assets across 20,679 highway lane miles.
STIP as the Statewide Programming Layer
The 2026-2029 STIP contains about 1,100 statewide transportation projects using $5.3 billion in federal funds and combines projects from state, local, tribal and public-transportation planning processes.
Local Agencies as Project Owners
Cities, counties, tribes, ports and transit agencies deliver many locally owned transportation projects using federal and state programs administered through WSDOT.
