WSR 16-08-095
PROPOSED RULES
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
[Filed April 5, 2016, 10:10 a.m.]
Original Notice.
Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 16-01-140.
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: SR 520 Bridge toll rate and policy setting.
Hearing Location(s): WSDOT Headquarters Building, Nisqually Conference Room, 310 Maple Park Avenue S.E., Olympia, WA 98501, on May 17, 2016, at 1:15 p.m.
Date of Intended Adoption: May 17, 2016.
Submit Written Comments to: Reema Griffith, P.O. Box 47308, Olympia, WA 98504-7308, e-mail transc@wstc.wa.gov, fax (360) 705-6802, by May 10, 2016.
Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Reema Griffith by May 10, 2016, at (360) 705-7070.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Under current law, the commission must set toll rates that will help maintain travel time, speed, and reliability on the SR 520 corridor, and must set and adjust toll rates to generate revenue sufficient and necessary to cover costs and obligations described in RCW 47.56.830, 47.56.850, and 47.56.870.
1. Amend WAC 468-270-040 How are the tolls determined and adjusted?, removes the automatic 2.5 percent yearly toll rate increase.
2. Amend WAC 468-270-071 What are the toll rates on the SR 520 Bridge?, updates the toll rate tables to reflect fiscal year 2017 toll rates and adds fiscal year 2018 toll rates.
3. Amend WAC 468-270-300 What other fees and discounts may apply to toll customers?, renumbers the table as additional tables were added earlier in the chapter.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: The commission is proposing a toll rate increase to ensure statutory mandates are met and requirements contained in the SR 520 master bond resolution are satisfied. The commission has reviewed all financial obligations and determined that the current 2.5 percent automatic toll rate increase is not sufficient and a higher toll rate increase is necessary. This proposal includes toll rate tables for fiscal year 2017 and 2018.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 47.56 RCW.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 47.56.850 and 47.56.870.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Washington state transportation commission, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Reema Griffith, Olympia, Washington, (360) 705-7070; Implementation and Enforcement: Patty Rubstello, Seattle, Washington, (206) 464-1299.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The proposed rules do not apply to "business in an industry," as described in RCW 19.85.030 (1)(a), but rather the rules apply to vehicles using the SR 520 Bridge.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. Pursuant to subsection (5) of RCW 34.05.328, RCW 34.05.328 does not apply to the transportation commission and it is not required to develop a cost-benefit analysis.

AMENDATORY SECTION (Amending WSR 15-08-038, filed 3/25/15, effective 4/25/15)
WAC 468-270-040 How are the tolls determined and adjusted?
In determining toll amounts, the transportation commission considers data and information provided by the department of transportation, public opinion and advice from any required citizen advisory committee.
(1) Tacoma Narrows Bridge. In accordance with chapter 47.46 RCW, the commission must consider the toll rate advice of the citizen advisory committee and must set toll amounts that cover the debt and operations and maintenance until the indebtedness is repaid as required by law.
(2) SR 520 Bridge. (((a))) The commission must consider toll rates that will help maintain travel time, speed, and reliability on the corridor and must set and adjust toll rates to generate revenue sufficient and necessary to cover costs and obligations described in RCW 47.56.830 and 47.56.850.
(((b) Starting July 1, 2012, the toll rates will increase two and one-half percent annually, subject to review and potential adjustment by the commission, in order to generate toll revenue sufficient to meet the costs and obligations listed in RCW 47.56.830 through 47.56.850.))
(3) I-405 express toll lanes.
(a) The commission must consider a schedule of toll rates that will maintain travel time, speed, and reliability on the corridor as described in RCW 47.56.850 and 47.56.880. The schedule adopted by the commission will allow toll rates to vary in amount by time of day, level of traffic congestion within the highway facility, and other criteria.
(b) The commission must set a minimum and a maximum toll rate, each subject to review on an annual basis or as needed to maintain performance requirements outlined in RCW 47.56.880.
(c) The commission must set an additional fixed amount to be added to the toll rate for vehicles that are not registered for a Good To Go!™ account who pay the Pay By Mail toll rate.
