BACKGROUND
The Real Estate Services/Right-of-Way (RES/ROW) section of the Washington Division Office administers the Federal-aid right-of-way program in the state of Washington. The primary function of the RES/ROW section is to provide oversight and stewardship to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and, through WSDOT, to the local public agencies (LPAs) in carrying out the right-of-way program in compliance with applicable Federal and State guidelines.

The primary Federal regulations that guide our program are: 23 CFR Part 710 – Right-of-Way Program Administration; 23 CFR Part 750 – Outdoor Advertising/Highway Beautification; and 49 CFR Part 24 – Uniform Act implementing regulations.
