In Washington State, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is one of several state and federal agencies participating in the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Liaison Program. Through this program, WSDOT provides funding to support staff that are dedicated to working on transportation projects. In Washington, the USFWS currently has three liaison positions. These positions are staffed by fish and wildlife biologists who represent the interests of the USFWS and work to meet the both environmental and transportation needs.
