$11 45 million federal grant will develop transit, mobility tech for underserved groups

UW News As part of the Transportation Data Equity Initiative, the UW is developing technology that will allow underserved groups to use mobility applications to get from place to place. For many, moving around is easier thanks to technology. Tools like Google Directions and OneBusAway give up-to-date travel and transit information, making unplanned, serendipitous travel seamless and convenient. But not everybody has benefitted. Mobility applications focus on efficiency and finding the shortest paths, leaving out information critical to people with disabilities, older adults and anybody needing more support. Now, the University of Washington is leading a team working toward a solution. Two UW centers, together with Microsoft, Google, Washington Department of Transportation and other public and private partners, are collaborating on the Transportation Data Equity Initiative.

A novel I-5 interchange in Lacey lets motorists drive on the left side of the road

Just take Exit 111 at Marvin Road, also known as the Hawks Prairie area. The state’s first “diverging diamond” interchange opened there with six lanes of traffic in August. More signal timing and landscaping will be done before the job is complete in early 2021. A second version begins construction this summer in Snoqualmie, the centerpiece of a $147 million overhaul at the treacherous Interstate 90 to Highway 18 junction. Drivers from either side approach the Lacey overpass using the right three lanes, then curve to the left side while above the freeway, then return to land while curving back to the right side.
