2024 Supplemental Transportation Budget
State Funding
Dear Mr. Preston:
WSDOT is pleased to advise you that the 2024 Supplemental Transportation Budget has updated
the above-mentioned project funding. The state funding is limited as shown below:
34th Avenue Roundabouts $1,000,000
Prior Expenditures: $ 40,123
2023-25 Available Funding: $959,877
In the event the 2023-25 funding is not all reimbursed, WSDOT will need to request the remaining
funding through the 2025-27 budget development. Until the funding is provided by the legislature,
WSDOT can only reimburse your agency for the approved work completed each biennium, as
reflected above. Therefore, it is critical that the city update the Local Project Report detailing the
project's delivery, so that the funding aligns with your schedule.
In order to meet the state requirements, the following are required:
• Project expenditures incurred before receiving notice from Local Programs of state fund
authorization are not eligible for reimbursement.
• Please refer to the Local Programs webpage for detailed authorization information
including: (https://wsdot.wa.gov/business-wsdot/support-local-programs)
✓ Local Agency Guidelines (LAG) manual for detailed requirements;
✓ Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Statewide Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) amendments, as applicable;
✓ Funding and billing forms;
