Transverse single spin asymmetries in hadronic collisions have attracted an increased interest over the past decades. Originally expected to be very small in perturbative QCD at high energies and transverse momenta, they have persisted with significant amplitudes giving rise to different model-like inclusions of initial and final state interactions. Transverse asymmetries therefore not only enable us to complement our knowledge of parton distribution functions in the nucleon but also allow for fundamental tests of QCD, involving questions of universality and factorization. In proton-proton collisions all possible sources of transverse asymmetries naturally appear and may interfere depending on the kinematic range. I will discuss the latest results from RHIC in relation to other experiments and in the context of future measurements.
