(i) One hundred dollars shall be deposited in the accessible communities account created in section 2 of this act; and

    (ii) One hundred dollars shall be deposited in the multimodal account under RCW 47.66.070 for the sole purpose of supplementing a grant program for special needs transportation provided by transit agencies and nonprofit providers of transportation that is administered by the department of transportation.

    (b) When a reduced penalty is imposed under subsections (7),(8), or (9) of this section, the amount deposited in the accounts identified in subsection (a) of this subsection shall be reduced equally and proportionally.
