Bill > SB6333

This bill updates the process for developing and reporting on Washington State's statewide multimodal transportation plan, which guides investments in various transportation modes like highways, ferries, public transit, and freight. Key changes include requiring the plan to be developed every three years, ensuring it considers environmental impacts in coordination with regulatory authorities, and mandating that starting in 2027, the Department of Transportation must report to legislative committees and the office of financial management on the plan's completion, how it meets requirements, any unmet requirements and reasons why, and progress on bridge preservation objectives. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the state highway system plan must use a 20-year timeframe for maintenance cost estimates and emphasizes assessing strategies to improve the efficiency of existing systems before considering expansion. It also introduces a new requirement for a state bridge preservation plan to ensure all state-owned bridges are brought to a state of good repair.
