"(2)(a) $3,250,000 of the multimodal transportation account—state appropriation is provided solely for development of a coordinating entity, integration into regional transportation plans, and public engagement for an ultra high-speed corridor system in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. "Ultra high-speed" means a maximum testing speed of at least 250 miles per hour. The work must build on the results of the 2020 Washington state ultra high-speed ground transportation governance and financing analysis.

(b) Specifically, the work to develop a coordinating entity must prepare the corridor for project initiation by working with relevant government agencies and private sector entities, identifying and solidifying a common vision and goals for the project, advancing preenvironmental clearance and conceptual engineering, and developing a consistent project approach needed to plan for and advance the development of the corridor and a future development authority. The work to integrate the project into regional transportation plans and the public engagement work must facilitate and inform a future environmental analysis. Funding in this appropriation may be used for matching funds for federal grants and related staff support for the project. The department shall provide a report to the governor and transportation committees of the legislature by June 30, 2023."
