                                  C 397 L 89

BYRepresentatives Baugher, Prince, Schmidt, Walk, Cantwell, Zellinsky, Day and Winsley; by request of Legislative Transportation Committee

Creating the transportation capital facilities account.

House Committe on Transportation

Senate Committee on Transportation

SYNOPSIS AS ENACTED

BACKGROUND:

Many Department of Transportation (DOT) facilities are old - with an average age of 32 years, poorly situated, and are not properly maintained.  An interim Transportation Subcommittee analyzed the capital facilities program at the DOT and concluded that there is not adequate funding available for the acquisition, construction, maintenance, or refurbishment of real property.

SUMMARY:

A dedicated Transportation Capital Facilities Account for all DOT real property, except marine and aeronautics capital facilities and properties, is established. All DOT Divisions, except Marine and Aeronautics, contribute to the following three revenue sources which support the Transportation Capital Facilities Account:  (1) proceeds from all DOT property transactions involving capital facility sales, transfers, and leases; (2) transfer of all federal monies available for capital facilities; and (3) established rental rates for all DOT facilities.

The account is created July 1, 1989, but rental rates are not established until July 1, 1991.
