       $53,305,000

     The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
     (1) $2,400,000 of the motor vehicle account--state appropriation is provided solely for low-cost enhancements. The department shall give priority to low-cost enhancement projects that improve safety or provide congestion relief. The department shall prioritize low-cost enhancement projects on a statewide rather than regional basis. By September 1st of each even-numbered year, the department shall provide a report to the legislature listing all low-cost enhancement projects prioritized on a statewide rather than regional basis completed in the prior year.
     (2) The department, in consultation with the Washington state patrol, may continue a pilot program for the patrol to issue infractions based on information from automated traffic safety cameras in roadway construction zones on state highways. For the purpose of this pilot program, during the 2009-11 fiscal biennium, a roadway construction zone includes areas where public employees or private contractors are not present but where a driving condition exists that would make it unsafe to drive at higher speeds, such as, when the department is redirecting or realigning lanes on any public roadway pursuant to ongoing construction. The department shall use the following guidelines to administer the program:
     (a) Automated traffic safety cameras may only take pictures of the vehicle and vehicle license plate and only while an infraction is occurring. The picture must not reveal the face of the driver or of passengers in the vehicle;
     (b) The department shall plainly mark the locations where the automated traffic safety cameras are used by placing signs on locations that clearly indicate to a driver that he or she is entering a roadway construction zone where traffic laws are enforced by an automated traffic safety camera;
     (c) Notices of infractions must be mailed to the registered owner of a vehicle within fourteen days of the infraction occurring;
     (d) The owner of the vehicle is not responsible for the violation if the owner of the vehicle, within fourteen days of receiving notification of the violation, mails to the patrol, a declaration under penalty of perjury, stating that the vehicle involved was, at the time, stolen or in the care, custody, or control of some person other than the registered owner, or any other extenuating circumstances;
     (e) For purposes of the 2009-11 fiscal biennium pilot program, infractions detected through the use of automated traffic safety cameras are not part of the registered owner's driving record under RCW 46.52.101 and 46.52.120. Additionally, infractions generated by the use of automated traffic safety cameras must be processed in the same manner as parking infractions for the purposes of RCW 3.50.100, 35.20.220, 46.16.216, and 46.20.270(3). However, the amount of the fine issued under this subsection (2) for an infraction generated through the use of an automated traffic safety camera is one hundred thirty-seven dollars. The court shall remit thirty-two dollars of the fine to the state treasurer for deposit into the state patrol highway account; and
     (f) If a notice of infraction is sent to the registered owner and the registered owner is a rental car business, the infraction must be dismissed against the business if it mails to the patrol, within fourteen days of receiving the notice, a declaration under penalty of perjury of the name and known mailing address of the individual driving or renting the vehicle when the infraction occurred. If the business is unable to determine who was driving or renting the vehicle at the time the infraction occurred, the business must sign a declaration under penalty of perjury to this effect. The declaration must be mailed to the patrol within fourteen days of receiving the notice of traffic infraction. Timely mailing of this declaration to the issuing agency relieves a rental car business of any liability under this section for the notice of infraction. A declaration form suitable for this purpose must be included with each automated traffic infraction notice issued, along with instructions for its completion and use.
     (3) The department shall implement a pilot project to evaluate the benefits of using electronic traffic flagging devices. Electronic traffic flagging devices must be tested by the department at multiple sites and reviewed for efficiency and safety. The department shall report to the transportation committees of the legislature on the best use and practices involving electronic traffic flagging devices, including recommendations for future use, by June 30, 2010.
     (4) $173,000 of the motor vehicle account--state appropriation is provided solely for the department to continue a pilot tow truck incentive program and to expand the program to other areas of the state. The department may provide incentive payments to towing companies that meet clearance goals on accidents that involve heavy trucks. The department shall report to the office of financial management and the transportation committees of the legislature on the effectiveness of the clearance goals and submit recommendations to improve the pilot program with the department's 2010 supplemental omnibus transportation appropriations act submittal. The tow truck incentive program may continue to provide incentives for quick clearance of traffic incidents involving large vehicles. The department shall make recommendations as part of its biennial budget proposal for expanding the use of the incentive program.
     (5) $92,000 of the motor vehicle account--state appropriation is provided solely for operating a new active traffic management system on Interstate 5, Interstate 90, and SR 520. The department shall track the costs associated with these systems on a corridor basis and report to the legislative transportation committees on the cost and benefits of the system.
     (6) To the extent practicable, the department shall synchronize traffic lights on state route number 161 in the vicinity of Puyallup.
