The 42 miles of US Highway 12 between Pasco and Walla Walla, Washington was previously considered one of the most dangerous stretches of roadway in the state. The US 12 Highway Coalition enlisted the Partners at Summit Strategies to help them advocate and secure funding for safety improvements along the roadway including four-laning the highway, flattening slopes, realigning the roadway to current design standards, providing new and updated barriers where needed, limiting access, and greatly reducing more than 100 access points.
