HDOT Climate Resilience Action Plan | May 2021

The Environmental Services Office has been very aggressive in providing public material on the many efforts at WSDOT to enhance the environment in addition to providing regulatory compliance reviews. For example, videos, webpages, information centers, and publications are found in the following areas (WSDOT 2020): » History, archaeology, and culture

» Improving fish passage » Litter on state highways » Maintaining vegetation along our highways » Protecting pollinators » Sustainable transportation » Managing stormwater from state highways » Improving wildlife habitat connectivity » Reducing the risk of wildlife collisions » Road noise and noise walls

One of the most recent initiatives in the Environmental Services Office is enhancing the recognition of the climate change and resilience role the office plays. The Deputy Secretary has established a cross-functional resilience task force, which to date has not formalized its focus in the organizational structure shown in Figure C- 2.
