Improving Wisconsin's transportation network
The Partnering initiative is a collaborative effort between the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), the Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association (WTBA), and the American Council of Engineering Companies of Wisconsin (ACEC WI) to improve working relationships and the delivery of Wisconsin transportation projects.
- The Partnering initiative is focused on the delivery of the transportation program to achieve common goals.
- The expected outcome of the Initiative includes the ultimate goal of providing a “new way of doing business” in Wisconsin.
- This initiative is a high priority within WisDOT.
- We are committed to implementing as many of these proposals as possible and will track progress through this website.
