Pat Whittaker
Washington State Department of Transportation HPMS Manager
Olympia, WA
Prior to becoming the HPMS Manager for WSDOT in 1992 I worked for WSDOT performing surveys, project design, project inspection, records control (project documentation and contract payment), and various planning functions. I began working with FHWA in the mid-1990’s as WSDOT helped FHWA in creating the first PC-based HPMS program. I began using GIS when Washington created a GIS for state highways in 1995 and also worked with FHWA as they created their first GIS HPMS software in 2008. I currently manage HPMS as well as the Federal Functional Classification System.
