This project is allowing the UW and WSDOT to cooperatively provide professional experience, training, and research opportunities to students from the UW\’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at WSDOT’s Toll Division. Under the supervision of WSDOT engineers, students are assisting in collecting, storing, and processing data related to the operation of WSDOT’s toll facilities. They are also preparing analyses to assist WSDOT engineers and drafting reports and presentations related to facility operation. With this project WSDOT gains technical assistance at reasonable cost, and students acquire valuable experience in a real-world setting.
