Washington Aviation System Plan (WASP): Executive Summary

The Washington Aviation System Plan (WASP), completed in July 2017 by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), is a statewide assessment of Washington's public-use airports covering both commercial and general aviation facilities. The plan evaluates how individual airports perform and interact as a system, identifies needed improvements, and develops policy recommendations to support communities, economic activity, and emergency services across the state. Funding was provided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the plan builds on the earlier 2009 Long-term Air Transportation Study (LATS).
