Overall, local drivers give Washington state a D+ for its transportation system, according to results from a Washington State Department of Transportation survey given in June 2015. Statewide, the grade was C-, the same as it was in three previous years.

WSDOT used the Washington State Transportation Commission’s Voice of Washington State (VOWS) online panel. More than 7,500 people completed surveys, the bulk of them from the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) area that includes Snohomish, King and Pierce counties. The results were recently posted.

Other survey results:

– 18 percent statewide gave the state an A or B (“above average”) grade for transportation

– 34 percent gave the state a D or F (“below average”) grade

– 26 percent say congestion is the top state transportation issue

– 15 percent said public and mass transit

– 10 percent said rail

Nearly 8 in 10 respondents liked Washington’s vision for the future of transportation in 20 years. They then ranked the six policy goals by highest priority: mobility, safety, economic vitality, preservation, environment and stewardship.

Given $1 to split up, respondents said 25 cents should go to increasing capacity, followed by maintenance (24 cents), expanding travel options (20 cents), improving safety (17 cents), and protecting the environment (14 cents).

Meanwhile, 38 percent said the state is “below average” in being fair about how it distributes transportation funding, with those in the Spokane and Palouse areas most likely to give a low rating.

At a D+, that’s a lower grade than in past years (C-).

It isn’t just statewide grumbling. Survey participants gave the same overall C- average grade to their local transportation systems.
