Washington State Transportation Improvement Board

About the Transportation Improvement Board The Legislature created the Transportation Improvement Board to foster state investment in quality local transportation projects. The TIB distributes grant funding, which comes from the revenue generated by three cents of the statewide gas tax, to cities and counties for funding transportation projects. The primary purpose of the TIB is to select and administer transportation projects that best address the criteria established by the Board. Each funding program has its own set of criteria used to rate project applications. The project selection process for all funding programs is completed annually. Mission of the TIB The TIB funds high priority transportation projects in communities throughout the state to enhance the movement of people, goods and services. Core Values TIB manages its programs according to four core values: - Improve and Innovate; - Manage projects to ribbon cutting; - Dollars in the ground, not in the bank; - Catalyst for project completion;
