PERMANENT RULES
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
[Filed August 26, 2022, 11:22 a.m., effective October 1, 2022]
Effective Date of Rule: October 1, 2022.
Purpose: In 2022, the state legislature provided $130,000,000, as referenced under RCW
47.56.165(1). It is the intent of the legislature that the Washington state transportation commission will adjust tolls on the State Route (SR) 16 Tacoma Narrows Bridge (TNB) accordingly (RCW
47.46.190(4)) in consideration of annual contributions from nontoll sources and the costs required to be covered under RCW
47.46.100. The purpose of this rule is therefore to decrease toll rates for TNB in an amount which maintains financial sufficiency. Toll rates for TNB will decrease $0.75 for two-axle vehicles, and between $1.15 for three-axle vehicles to $2.25 for six+ axle vehicles, effective October 1, 2022.
