WASHTO TRAC & RIDES PROGRAM

The Western Association of State Highway Transportation Officials wishes to promote the development of transportation professionals by investing in young , bright students with interests in science, technology, engineering, and math. WASHTO will support the AASHTO TRAC & RIDES program by providing an annual fund of $5,000 to be shared by WASHTO member states to set up or support a TRAC & RIDES program in each fiscal year for which the WASHTO Treasury shows a net positive balance exceeding one hundred thousand dollars. Funding is to be awarded to requesting WASHTO states in any combination of awards up to a maximum of $2,500 per request. Awards must be matched with an equal amount of funding by the requesting state. Any funds remaining at the end of the fiscal year are to be returned to the WASHTO Treasurer so as not to present a continuing funding liability. The WASHTO Board of Directors will review the TRAC & RIDES program on an annual basis.
