The appropriations in this section are subject to the following
conditions and limitations:
(1) To manage some projects more efficiently, federal funds may be
transferred from program Z to programs I and P and state funds shall be
transferred from programs I and P to program Z to replace those federal
funds in a dollar-for-dollar match. Fund transfers authorized under
this subsection shall not affect project prioritization status.
Appropriations shall initially be allotted as appropriated in this act.
((The department may not transfer funds as authorized under this
subsection without approval of the transportation commission. The
department shall submit a report on those projects receiving fund
transfers to the transportation committees of the senate and house of
representatives by December 1, 2006.))
(2) The department shall, on a quarterly basis, provide status
reports to the legislature on the delivery of projects as outlined in
the project lists distributed with this act, and on any additional
projects for which the department has expended funds during the 2005-07
fiscal biennium. The department shall work with the transportation
committees of the legislature to agree on report formatting and
elements. For projects funded by new revenue in the 2003 and 2005
transportation packages, reporting elements shall include, but not be
limited to, project scope, schedule, and costs. Other projects may be
reported on a programmatic basis. The department shall also provide
the information required under this subsection via the transportation
executive information system (TEIS).
(3) The multimodal transportation account -- state appropriation
includes $6,000,000 in proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by
RCW 47.10.867. 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.
(4) (($3,545,000)) $1,545,000 of the multimodal transportation
account--state appropriation is reappropriated and provided solely to
fund the multiphase cooperative project with the state of Oregon to

projects receiving grant awards under this program at least
semiannually to determine whether the projects are making satisfactory
progress. Any project that has been awarded traffic and pedestrian
safety improvement grant funds, but does not report activity on the
project within one year of grant award should be reviewed by the
department to determine whether the grant should be terminated. The
department must promptly close out grants when projects have been
completed, and identify where unused grant funds remain because actual
project costs were lower than estimated in the grant award. The
department shall expeditiously extend new grant awards to qualified
projects when funds become available either because grant awards have
been rescinded for lack of sufficient project activity or because
completed projects returned excess grant funds upon project closeout.

$905,000 in unexpended proceeds from the sale of bonds authorized by
