This bill provides a legislative finding and statement of intent regarding transportation resources in Washington state. The bill acknowledges that the state's transportation system serves two primary purposes: supporting residents' mobility needs and sustaining economic activity and growth. The legislature recognizes significant challenges facing the transportation system, including rising construction costs and declining fuel tax revenue, which are attributed to increasing fuel efficiency of motor vehicles. In response, the bill intends to establish additional transportation revenue sources from multiple channels to maintain the current level of transportation service that residents rely on and that supports the state's economic development. The bill emphasizes the need for reliable funding to address both immediate and long-term transportation infrastructure needs, reflecting a proactive approach to addressing funding challenges in the state's transportation sector.
