HB 2113 - DIGEST

     Provides that the schedule of charges adopted under this act must include a local impact surcharge to be assessed in addition to the base tariff amounts.  A twenty-five cent surcharge must be assessed on each ticket sold by the ferry system for passage on a Washington state ferry.

     Requires the surcharge collected from tickets purchased on a route to be placed in a separate account and divided equally between the cities or towns that the ferry route travels between.  If a ferry terminal for a route is not in an incorporated city or town, the surcharge distribution must be made to the county containing the terminal.

     Requires the local government entity receiving revenue from the surcharge assessed under this act to use the proceeds to mitigate the local roadway and parking impacts of vehicle traffic from ferries.
