A Decade of Transparency

WSDOT’s accountability challenge is to be a high performance organization credible and accountable to the Governor, Legislature, taxpayers, and transportation delivery partners across the state. The Gray Notebook anchors WSDOT’s management philosophy and is the basis for external performance reporting. 

The spring of 2011 marked the 10th anniversary of the Gray Notebook. As budgets get tighter, performance management and reporting is more important than ever. The Gray Notebook is one of WSDOT's best tools for demonstrating that taxpayer dollars are being used for projects that provide real benefits. The agency's ability to make transportation investments in the future relies on its continued credible, transparent, and accountable reporting.

WSDOT keeps people and business moving by operating and improving the state's transportation systems vital to our taxpayers and communities.
