AN ACT Relating to accommodating certain private transit providers at park and ride lots; and adding a new section to chapter 47.04 RCW.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1 A new section is added to chapter 47.04 RCW
to read as follows:
(1) Any local transit agency that has received state funding for a
park and ride lot shall make reasonable accommodation for use of that
lot by auto transportation companies regulated under chapter 81.68 RCW
and private, nonprofit transportation providers regulated under chapter
81.66 RCW, that intend to provide or already provide regularly
scheduled service at that lot. The accommodation must be in the form
of an agreement between the applicable local transit agency and private
transit provider regulated under chapter 81.68 or 81.66 RCW. The
transit agency may require that the agreement include provisions to
recover costs and fair market value for the use of the lot and its
related facilities and to provide adequate insurance and
indemnification of the transit agency, and other reasonable provisions
to ensure that the private transit provider's use does not unduly
burden the transit agency. No accommodation is required, and any
agreement may be terminated, if the park and ride lot is at or exceeds
ninety percent capacity.
(2) A local transit agency described under subsection (1) of this
section may enter into a cooperative agreement with a taxicab company
regulated under chapter 81.72 RCW in order to accommodate the taxicab
company at the agency's park and ride lot, provided the taxicab company
must agree to provide service with reasonable availability, subject to
schedule coordination provisions as agreed to by the parties.
