The WSDOT audit pointed out that "nearly all [U.S.] state and Canadian provincial highway and transportation agencies" contract with the private sector for some or all of their highway maintenance service.
The state legislature led the effort to implement this policy by mandating the state'sDepartment of Transportation to contract out at least 25 percent of maintenance work and to achieve 10 percent cost savings over the course of a year.
Like most WashingtonState agencies, WSDOT is barred by law from taking actions like those used by communities across the nation to improve the cost-effectiveness and quality of highway maintenance.
