     AN ACT Relating to accommodating certain private transit providers at park and ride lots; and adding a new section to chapter 47.04 RCW.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1   A new section is added to chapter 47.04 RCW to read as follows:
     (1) Any local transit agency that has received state funding for a park and ride lot shall make reasonable accommodation for use of that lot by auto transportation companies regulated under chapter 81.68 RCW and private, nonprofit transportation providers regulated under chapter 81.66 RCW, that intend to provide or already provide regularly scheduled service at that lot. The accommodation must be in the form of an agreement between the applicable local transit agency and private transit provider regulated under chapter 81.68 or 81.66 RCW. The transit agency may require that the agreement include provisions to recover costs and fair market value for the use of the lot and its related facilities and to provide adequate insurance and indemnification of the transit agency, and other reasonable provisions to ensure that the private transit provider's use does not unduly burden the transit agency. No accommodation is required, and any agreement may be terminated, if the park and ride lot is at or exceeds ninety percent capacity.
     (2) A local transit agency described under subsection (1) of this section may enter into a cooperative agreement with a taxicab company regulated under chapter 81.72 RCW in order to accommodate the taxicab company at the agency's park and ride lot, provided the taxicab company must agree to provide service with reasonable availability, subject to schedule coordination provisions as agreed to by the parties.

         Passed by the House March 11, 2008.
         Approved by the Governor March 31, 2008.
