Transportation Panel

Please join us for this event, as MAS hosts a Washington/Idaho Transportation Panel!  With the recent approvals of the Washington State Transportation Funding Package and the Idaho State Gas Tax, our four panelists will discuss:

• What these funding packages mean for their agencies. 
• What projects are happening in the next 1-5 years.
• How they select consultants for these projects.
• Their thoughts on Design/Build for their upcoming projects.
