House Bills
HB 2231-S
by House Committee on Transportation (originally sponsored by Representatives Murray, Wallace, Cooper, Clibborn, Rockefeller, Simpson, Hudgins and Hankins)
Authorizing transportation financing alternatives.
(AS OF HOUSE 2ND READING 4/08/03)
Authorizes transportation financing alternatives.
Finds that the state's transportation system is in critical need of repair, restoration, and enhancement. Bridges and major highway structures are at risk of failure during a seismic episode; ferry vessels are aged and nearing the end of their useful life; increased traffic congestion on state highways and local roadways threatens the state's economic vitality and quality of life; highways in some areas are experiencing high accident rates; and the mobility of persons with special needs or who live in rural areas has been greatly impaired by cuts in public transportation services, thus threatening our citizens' ability to access health care, job opportunities, and educational institutions. The revenues generated by this act are dedicated to funds, accounts, and activities that are critically necessary to improve the delivery of state transportation projects and services.

Promoting economic development and community revitalization.
(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 2ND SUBSTITUTE)
Recognizes that the state as a whole benefits from investment in public infrastructure because it promotes community and economic development.
