For the past nine years, the UW has supported two undergraduate or graduate students in the UW Civil and Environmental Engineering Transportation Program each school year to provide analytical support to the WSDOT Toll Division. Under the supervision of WSDOT engineers, these students assist in collecting, storing, and processing data related to the operation of the WSDOT Toll Facilities. Students prepare analyses and conduct necessary research to assist WSDOT engineers and draft reports and presentations related to facility operation. Students participating in this intern training receive invaluable practical experience while studying at the UW.
