There is no state agency in the United States comparable to the
<a href="crabhistory.html">County Road Administration Board</a>.
A continuing focus for both the board and its staff is the integration of the
engineering, transportation planning, and information
services that we provide to counties. CRAB is committed to providing outstanding
professional support to county transportation departments at a minimum administrative
cost.

<dt><b>ENGINEERING SERVICES</b>
<dd>The Engineering Services Division provides counties with a broad-based
array of technical, financial and administrative services as they face the
challenges of the 90's. These services include the administration of the
Rural Arterial and County Preservation <a href="grants/index.html">grant programs</a>
for road rehabilitation and reconstruction.<p>
<dt><b>INFORMATION SERVICES</b>
<dd>Over the past ten years CRAB has built a technology partnership with
the Washington counties that gives transportation professionals increased
confidence in their abilities to use technology wisely. CRAB's commitment
to this partnership involves providing <a href="DesignSystems/index.html">design systems</a>, developing infrastructure
<a href="cris/index.html">management systems</a>, enabling and enhancing
county interaction, evaluating emerging technology, and providing the
support, training and consultation that counties rely upon each day.<p>
<dt><b>TRANSPORTATION PLANNING SERVICES</b>
<dd>The first half of this decade has been dedicated to planning, complying
with the mandates of the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) and
adjusting to the new rules for federal transportation funding under ISTEA.
The next five years are likely to be devoted to the implementation and
refinement of the adopted strategies. CRAB's Transportation Planning Services is
active in assisting counties meet their challenges through direct technical
support, research on current issues with framework plans, workshops and
discussion papers.
