For the purpose of this pilot program, during the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, a roadway construction zone includes areas where public employees or private contractors may be present or where a driving condition exists that would make it unsafe to drive at higher speeds, such as, when the department is redirecting or realigning lanes on any public roadway pursuant to ongoing construction. The department shall use the following guidelines to administer the program:
     (a) Automated traffic safety cameras may only take pictures of the vehicle and vehicle license plate and only while an infraction is occurring. The picture must not reveal the face of the driver or of passengers in the vehicle;
     (b) The department shall plainly mark the locations where the automated traffic safety cameras are used by placing signs on locations that clearly indicate to a driver that he or she is entering a roadway construction zone where traffic laws are enforced by an automated traffic safety camera;
     (c) Notices of infractions must be mailed to the registered owner of a vehicle within fourteen days of the infraction occurring;
     (d) The owner of the vehicle is not responsible for the violation if the owner of the vehicle, within fourteen days of receiving notification of the violation, mails to the patrol, a declaration under penalty of perjury, stating that the vehicle involved was, at the time, stolen or in the care, custody, or control of some person other than the registered owner, or any other extenuating circumstances;
     (e) For purposes of the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium pilot program, infractions detected through the use of automated traffic safety cameras are not part of the registered owner's driving record under RCW 46.52.101 and 46.52.120. Additionally, infractions generated by the use of automated traffic safety cameras must be processed in the same manner as parking infractions for the purposes of RCW 3.50.100, 35.20.220, 46.16A.120, and 46.20.270(3). However, the amount of the fine issued under this subsection (5) for an infraction generated through the use of an automated traffic safety camera is one hundred thirty-seven dollars. The court shall remit thirty-two dollars of the fine to the state treasurer for deposit into the state patrol highway account; and
     (f) If a notice of infraction is sent to the registered owner and the registered owner is a rental car business, the infraction must be dismissed against the business if it mails to the patrol, within fourteen days of receiving the notice, a declaration under penalty of perjury of the name and known mailing address of the individual driving or renting the vehicle when the infraction occurred. If the business is unable to determine who was driving or renting the vehicle at the time the infraction occurred, the business must sign a declaration under penalty of perjury to this effect. The declaration must be mailed to the patrol within fourteen days of receiving the notice of traffic infraction. Timely mailing of this declaration to the issuing agency relieves a rental car business of any liability under this section for the notice of infraction. A declaration form suitable for this purpose must be included with each automated traffic infraction notice issued, along with instructions for its completion and use.
     (6) The department shall track the costs associated with active traffic management systems on a corridor basis and report to the transportation committees of the legislature on the cost and benefits of the systems by December 1, 2011.

The fiscal year 2013 agreement contains no change in compensation from the 2009-2011 agreement; therefore, no additional funding is appropriated.

Sec. 503   2011 c 367 s 505 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MARINE DIVISION COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS--TERMS AND CONDITIONS
     No agreement has been reached between the governor and the masters, mates, and pilots marine operations watch supervisors under chapter 47.64 RCW for the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium. Appropriations in this act reflect funding to maintain the provisions or terms and conditions of the 2009-2011 agreements for fiscal year 2012. Fiscal year 2013 appropriations are reduced to reflect a 6.0 percent temporary salary reduction effective July 1, 2012, through June 29, 2013, and other management priorities in collective bargaining. Effective June 30, 2013, the salary schedules effective July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2011, will be reinstated.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 504   A new section is added to 2011 c 367 (uncodified) to read as follows:

IMPLEMENTING PROVISIONS

Sec. 601   2011 c 367 s 603 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:
FUND TRANSFERS
     (1) The transportation 2003 projects or improvements and the 2005 transportation partnership projects or improvements are listed in ((LEAP Transportation Document 2011-1 as developed April 19, 2011)) TEIS Transportation Document 12GOV001 dated November 21, 2011, which consists of a list of specific projects by fund source and amount over a sixteen-year period. Current fiscal biennium funding for each project is a line-item appropriation, while the outer year funding allocations represent a sixteen-year plan. The department is expected to use the flexibility provided in this section to assist in the delivery and completion of all transportation partnership account and transportation 2003 account (nickel account) projects on the ((LEAP)) TEIS transportation documents referenced in this act. For the 2009-2011 and 2011-2013 project appropriations, unless otherwise provided in this act, the director of financial management may authorize a transfer of appropriation authority between projects funded with transportation 2003 account (nickel account) appropriations, or transportation partnership account appropriations, in order to manage project spending and efficiently deliver all projects in the respective program under the following conditions and limitations:
     (a) Transfers may only be made within each specific fund source referenced on the respective project list;
     (b) Transfers from a project may not be made as a result of the reduction of the scope of a project or be made to support increases in the scope of a project;
     (c) Each transfer between projects may only occur if the director of financial management finds that any resulting change will not hinder the completion of the projects as approved by the legislature. Until the legislature reconvenes to consider the 2012 supplemental transportation budget, any unexpended 2009-2011 appropriation balance as approved by the office of financial management, in consultation with the legislative staff of the house of representatives and senate transportation committees, may be considered when transferring funds between projects;
     (d) Transfers from a project may be made if the funds appropriated to the project are in excess of the amount needed to complete the project;
     (e) Transfers may not occur for projects not identified on the applicable project list;
     (f) Transfers may not be made while the legislature is in session; and
     (g) Transfers between projects may be made by the department of transportation until the transfer amount by project exceeds two hundred fifty thousand dollars, or ten percent of the total project, whichever is less. These transfers must be reported quarterly to the director of financial management and the chairs of the house of representatives and senate transportation committees.
     (2) At the time the department submits a request to transfer funds under this section, a copy of the request must be submitted to the transportation committees of the legislature.
     (3) The office of financial management shall work with legislative staff of the house of representatives and senate transportation committees to review the requested transfers in a timely manner.
     (4) The office of financial management shall document approved transfers and schedule changes in the transportation executive information system, compare changes to the legislative baseline funding and schedules identified by project identification number identified in the ((LEAP)) TEIS transportation documents referenced in this act, and transmit revised project lists to chairs of the transportation committees of the legislature on a quarterly basis.

Sec. 602   2011 c 367 s 608 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:
STAFFING LEVELS
     (1) As the department of transportation completes delivery of the projects funded by the 2003 and 2005 transportation revenue packages, it is clear that the current staffing levels necessary to deliver these projects are not sustainable into the future. Therefore, the department is directed to quickly move forward to develop and implement new business practices so that a smaller, more nimble state workforce can effectively and efficiently deliver transportation improvement programs as they are approved in the future, in strong partnership with the private sector, while protecting the public's interests and assets.
     (2) To this end, the department of transportation is directed to reduce the size of its engineering and technical workforce to a level sustained by current law revenue levels currently estimated at two thousand FTEs by the end of the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium. The department's current two thousand eight hundred FTE engineering and technical workforce levels for highway construction will be reduced in the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, with a target of two thousand four hundred FTEs by June 30, 2013, and to a level of two thousand FTEs by June 30, 2015.
     (3) In order to successfully deliver the highway construction program as funded, the department of transportation may continue to contract out engineering and technical services. In addition, the department may continue the incentive program for retirements and employee separations. ((The department shall report quarterly to the office of financial management and the transportation committees of the legislature on its progress and plans to reduce highway construction workforce levels to two thousand FTEs by June 2015. This report must also be posted on the department's web site.))
