The studies shall include:
(a) A cost responsibility study to be completed by July 1, 1994, including but not limited to analysis and recommendations regarding:
(i) Damage to, use of, and benefit from the state's transportation systems;

However, the transportation commission may authorize the use of current revenues available to the department of transportation in lieu of bond proceeds for any part of the state appropriation.

Stabilization Account
For transfer to the Motor Vehicle Fund............................................................................................. $ 33,000,000
The transfer in this section is provided for expenditures pursuant to RCW 46.68.200.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 38. The motor vehicle fund revenues are received at a relatively even flow throughout the year. Expenditures exceed the revenue during the accelerated summer and fall highway construction season, creating a negative cash balance during the heavy construction season. Negative cash balances also may result from the use of state funds to finance federal advance construction projects prior to conversion to federal funding. The governor and the legislature recognize that the department of transportation may require interfund loans or other short‑term financing to meet temporary seasonal cash requirements and additional cash requirements to fund federal advance construction projects.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 39. In addition to such other appropriations as are made by this act, there is appropriated to the department of transportation from legally available bond proceeds in the respective construction or building accounts such amounts as are necessary to pay the expenses incurred by the state finance committee in the issuance and sale of the subject bonds.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 40. The department of transportation is authorized to undertake federal advance construction projects under the provisions of 23 U.S.C. Sec. 115 in order to maintain progress in meeting approved highway construction and preservation objectives. The legislature recognizes that the use of state funds may be required to temporarily fund expenditures of the federal appropriations for the highway construction and preservation programs for federal advance construction projects prior to conversion to federal funding.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 41. All transportation agencies over one-hundred employees, including those headed by appointed boards or commissions, are directed to reduce executive, administrative, and mid-management level full time equivalent positions. It is intended that these savings be achieved through streamlining agency management functions. It is expected that reorganizations and reorienting responsibilities may be necessary to accomplish these goals and that they will be implemented without a reduction in service levels.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 42. The department of transportation shall cooperate with the department of community development and shall carry out its responsibility under the federally required April 20, 1992, flood hazard reduction mitigation plan. Specifically, the department of transportation shall implement the duties outlined in the flood reduction matrix dated December 18, 1992, or as amended by federal requirement, in consultation with the office of financial management.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 43. (1) Any public agency including but not limited to transit agencies, cities, counties, and the state department of transportation, awarded contracts from counties or transit agencies for the construction of high occupancy vehicle lanes and related facilities shall use such moneys in addition to, and not as a substitute for, moneys currently used, or planned to be used, for high occupancy vehicle lanes by the public agency receiving the award.
(2) Cities, counties, transit agencies, and the state department of transportation having within their boundaries a portion of the existing or planned high occupancy vehicle system contained in the document dated March 1991, entitled "Puget Sound HOV Core Lane Needs: 2000", shall coordinate programming and operational decisions affecting the high occupancy vehicle system.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 44. To maximize the use of motor vehicle fund revenues, it is the intent of the legislature to encourage sharing of technology, information, and systems where appropriate between transportation agencies.
To facilitate this exchange, the Washington state department of transportation assistant secretary for finance and budget management; Washington state department of transportation chief for management information systems; the Washington state patrol deputy chief, chief of staff; Washington state patrol manager of the computer services division; the department of licensing deputy director and department of licensing assistant director for information systems will meet quarterly to share plans, discuss progress of key projects and to coordinate activities for the common good. Minutes of these meetings will be distributed to the respective agency heads, the legislative transportation committee, and the office of financial management. Washington state department of transportation will provide staff support and meeting coordination.
