The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) The transportation fund--state appropriation contained in this section includes up to $5,000,000 to implement the recommendations contained in the 1991 Amtrak study for capital improvements to stations and crossings. Improvements may be made to those locations where Amtrak services are currently provided. The expenditure of state moneys for station and crossing improvements at locations where Amtrak services are not currently provided, is conditioned on a prior commitment in writing by Amtrak to the department of transportation to expand service to additional Washington state locations. Prior to the expenditure of state moneys for capital improvements, the department of transportation shall seek additional funding from federal, local government and private sources, which includes, but is not limited to, in-kind and cash contributions. Funding priorities for station improvements shall be based on the level of local in-kind and cash contributions.
(2) Moneys in this appropriation for the Spokane intermodal transportation center may be expended only after the Washington state transportation commission has received funding commitments from all other project participants.
(3) Of the amount provided for regional transportation planning organizations, funds not allocated to such organizations may be used for a discretionary grant program for special regional planning projects, to be administered by the department of transportation.
(4) The amount provided for implementation of the universal bus pass program at the University of Washington shall be expended solely for one-time infrastructure costs for modification of roads to accommodate buses, modification of parking facilities, bus shelters, security lighting for night shuttle programs, and bike storage facilities. It is the intent of the legislature that comparable comprehensive programs be developed in the near future for all universities and colleges within the greater Seattle area. To that end, Metro, community transit and Pierce transit, and Seattle area colleges and universities shall work together and submit a plan to the legislative transportation committee identifying potential services, costs and implementation schedules. The plan shall be submitted by November 1992.
(5) In order to accommodate the federal 1991 intermodal surface transportation efficiency act (P.L. 101-240; 105 Stat. 1914) the department of transportation may transfer dollar for dollar from the motor vehicle fund--state appropriation to the motor vehicle fund--federal appropriation.
(6) The legislature finds that there is a significant state interest in transportation systems and facilities that serve regional and state-wide travel. Further, the state growth management act gives local governments significant authority to develop plans for all transportation systems, including regional and state-wide facilities. While the department of transportation and the transportation commission have broad authority to develop state-wide transportation plans, the relationship between these plans and local growth management plans is unclear.
The department of transportation is directed to report to the 1993 legislature on a proposed definition of transportation issues of state-wide significance, the recommended role of the state, regions, and local governments in addressing these issues, and a proposed process for their inclusion in local comprehensive plans. The department shall involve local governments, regional transportation planning organizations, and the department of community development in the development of these recommendations.
(7) Up to $415,000 of the appropriation in this section is provided for funding of the demonstration projects specified in the federal 1991 intermodal surface transportation efficiency act (P.L. 101-240; 105 Stat 1914).
(8) Up to $300,000 of the public transportation systems account‑-state appropriation in this section is provided for grants to transit agencies with populations of less than 200,000 to assist in preparation of the agencies' transit development plans, due June 1, 1993, pursuant to RCW 35.58.2795.
