Department of Transportation:

SSB 5483 is the Senate transportation revenue bill which raises money for transportation projects and puts the increased or new revenue primarily into the Forward Washington and Forward Flexible accounts. A lot of the revenue impacts in this bill will be reported by the Department of Licensing and a few revenue sources will be reported by the Department of Revenue in their fiscal note estimates. The creation of the new transportation accounts in section 701 and 702 and the revenue transfers contained in sections 708 of the substitute bill will be reported in the Office of the State Treasurer (OST) fiscal note.

 

The following sections of the substitute bill have impacts that directly affect WSDOT or report on revenues that WSDOT collects. Some parts of this cash receipts impact are quantifiable like the 25-cent ferry capital vessel surcharge and other components are indeterminate or no impact.

Sections 601 and 602 has the ferry capital vessel surcharge. (New WSF revenue impacts shown above, in the table.) It includes not only the new revenue in the capital vessel replacement account but also a small reduction in the ferry fare operating account due to having slightly lower ridership in the future due to the higher capital surcharge.

 

Sections 710 and 711 restrict the Transportation Commission from setting up toll exemptions for transit busses on toll bridges, applying to the SR 16 TNB and SR 520 Bridge, including publicly owned or operated transit buses, passenger motor vehicle licensed as ride sharing, school buses and privately owned and operated passenger buses. The Commission set a uniform exemptions policy for all toll facilities in 2018, including for these vehicle types.

 

The fiscal impact of this change is indeterminate and depends on trip patterns and transit service levels once the effects of pandemic have subsided. At pre-COVID service levels, removing transit and rideshare exemptions would increase toll revenue on TNB by approximately $235,000 annually, and by approximately $2.7 million on SR 520, while having an equivalent negative impact on transit agency budgets. Transit service levels and exemption value for fiscal year 2021 is significantly smaller than these amounts and the rate of recovery to pre-COVID service levels is unknown. The department expects no impact for the SR 99 Tunnel, which is not classified as a toll bridge.

Department of Transportation:

SSB 5483 is the Senate transportation revenue bill which raises money for transportation projects and puts the increased or new revenue primarily into the Forward Washington and Forward Flexible accounts. A lot of the revenue impacts in this bill will be reported by the Department of Licensing and a few revenue sources will be reported by the Department of Revenue in their fiscal note estimates. The creation of the new transportation accounts in section 701 and 702 and the revenue transfers contained in sections 708 of the substitute bill will be reported in the Office of the State Treasurer (OST) fiscal note.

 

The following sections of the substitute bill have impacts that directly affect WSDOT or report on revenues that WSDOT collects. Some parts of this cash receipts impact are quantifiable like the 25-cent ferry capital vessel surcharge and other components are indeterminate or no impact.

Sections 601 and 602 has the ferry capital vessel surcharge. (New WSF revenue impacts shown above, in the table.) It includes not only the new revenue in the capital vessel replacement account but also a small reduction in the ferry fare operating account due to having slightly lower ridership in the future due to the higher capital surcharge.

 

Sections 710 and 711 restrict the Transportation Commission from setting up toll exemptions for transit busses on toll bridges, applying to the SR 16 TNB and SR 520 Bridge, including publicly owned or operated transit buses, passenger motor vehicle licensed as ride sharing, school buses and privately owned and operated passenger buses. The Commission set a uniform exemptions policy for all toll facilities in 2018, including for these vehicle types.

 

The fiscal impact of this change is indeterminate and depends on trip patterns and transit service levels once the effects of pandemic have subsided. At pre-COVID service levels, removing transit and rideshare exemptions would increase toll revenue on TNB by approximately $235,000 annually, and by approximately $2.7 million on SR 520, while having an equivalent negative impact on transit agency budgets. Transit service levels and exemption value for fiscal year 2021 is significantly smaller than these amounts and the rate of recovery to pre-COVID service levels is unknown. The department expects no impact for the SR 99 Tunnel, which is not classified as a toll bridge.
