          TOTAL APPROPRIATION . . . . . . . . . . . . $2,885,000

     The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
     (1) Consistent with RCW 43.135.055, 47.60.290, and 47.60.315, during the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium, the legislature authorizes the transportation commission to periodically review and, if necessary, adjust the schedule of fares for the Washington state ferry system only in amounts not greater than those sufficient to generate the amount of revenue required by the biennial transportation budget. When adjusting ferry fares, the commission must consider input from affected ferry users by public hearing and by review with the affected ferry advisory committees, in addition to the data gathered from the current ferry user survey.
     (2) Consistent with RCW 43.135.055 and 47.46.100, during the 2013-2015 fiscal biennium, the legislature authorizes the transportation commission to periodically review and, if necessary, adjust the schedule of toll charges applicable to the Tacoma Narrows bridge only in amounts not greater than those sufficient to support (a) any required costs for operating and maintaining the toll bridge, including the cost of insurance, (b) any amount required by law to meet the redemption of bonds and applicable interest payments, and (c) repayment of the motor vehicle fund.

The funds are provided for fiscal year 2014 only.
     (b) The legislature finds that the efforts started in the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium regarding the transition to a road usage charge system represent an important first step in the policy and conceptual development of potential alternative systems to fund transportation projects, but that the governance for the development needs clarification. The legislature also finds that significant amounts of research and public education are occurring in similar efforts in several states and that these efforts can and should be leveraged to advance the evaluation in Washington. The legislature intends, therefore, that the commission and its staff lead the policy development of the business case for a road usage charge system, with the goal of providing the business case to the governor and the legislative committees of the legislature in time for inclusion in the 2014 supplemental omnibus transportation appropriations act. The legislature intends for additional oversight in the business case development, with guidance from a steering committee as provided in chapter 86, Laws of 2012, augmented with participation by the joint transportation committee. The legislature further intends that the department of transportation continue to address administrative, technical, and conceptual operational issues related to road usage charge systems, and that the department serve as a resource for information gleaned from other states on this topic for the commission's efforts.
     (c) For the purposes of this subsection (6), the commission shall:
     (i) Develop preliminary road usage charge policies that are necessary to develop the business case, as well as supporting research and data that will guide the potential application in Washington;
     (ii) Develop the preferred operational concept or concepts that reflect the preliminary policies;
     (iii) Evaluate the business case for the road usage charge system that would result from implementing the preliminary policies and preferred operational concept or concepts. The evaluation must assess likely financial outcomes if the system were to be implemented; and
     (iv) Identify and document policy and other issues that are deemed important to further refine the preferred operational concept or concepts and to gain public acceptance. These identified issues should form the basis for continued work beyond this funding cycle.
     (d) The commission shall convene a steering committee to guide the development of the business case. The membership must be the same as provided in chapter 86, Laws of 2012, except that the membership must also include the joint transportation committee executive members.
     (e) The commission shall submit a report of the business case to the governor and the transportation committees of the legislature by December 15, 2013. The report must also include a proposed budget and work plan for fiscal year 2015. A progress report must be submitted to the governor and the joint transportation committee by November 1, 2013, including a presentation to the joint transportation committee.

     The appropriation in this section is subject to the following conditions and limitations:
     (1) The legislature finds that the efforts started in the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium regarding the transition to a road usage charge system represent an important first step in the policy and conceptual development of potential alternative systems to fund transportation projects, but that the governance for the development needs clarification.

     The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
     (1) Within available resources, the department must collaborate with the affected metropolitan planning organizations, regional transportation planning organizations, transit agencies, and private transportation providers to develop a plan to reduce vehicle demand, increase public transportation options, and reduce vehicle miles traveled on corridors affected by growth at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
     (2) The legislature finds that there are sixteen companies involved in wood preserving in the state that employ four hundred workers and have an annual payroll of fifteen million dollars. Prior to the department's switch to steel guardrails, ninety percent of the twenty-five hundred mile guardrail system was constructed of preserved wood and one hundred ten thousand wood guardrail posts were produced annually for state use. Moreover, the policy of using steel posts requires the state to use imported steel. Given these findings, the department shall contract with an independent research organization with expertise in the evaluation of wood products to determine on a life-cycle basis the cost effectiveness of using wood posts versus steel posts in new guardrail installations.
     (a) The study must include the following objectives:
     (i) Examine wood posts that are randomly selected, are representative of commonly found posts in service, and are of sufficient sampling size to produce a statistically valid data set;
     (ii) Assess the residual flexural properties of guardrail posts after twenty years in service at various sites representing the climatic and soil variability of the state;
     (iii) Measure test results against AASHTO standards;
     (iv) Determine residual preservative levels in wood posts in terms of retention and penetration in order to determine the role of treatment quality on performance following test procedures outlined in American wood protection association standards;
     (v) Examine the levels of decay in the guardrail posts, in terms of location of pockets and the presence of viable decay fungi, through culturing;
     (vi) Investigate the effects of decay on flexural properties of guardrail posts;
     (vii) Determine an acceptable level or number of nonstandard posts (i.e. posts with decay pockets that cause post strength to fall below AASHTO standards) that can be present in a guardrail run without compromising performance; and
     (viii) Conduct thorough data search or identify case studies, or both, on service life of wood guardrail posts. Durability test results should also be factored in when evaluating service life.
     (b) The study must be submitted to the office of financial management and the transportation committees of the legislature by January 1, 2015.

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 601   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) During the 2011-2013 fiscal biennium, the department shall implement a pilot program that expands private transportation providers' access to high occupancy vehicle lanes. Under the pilot program, when the department reserves a portion of a highway based on the number of passengers in a vehicle, the following vehicles must be authorized to use the reserved portion of the highway if the vehicle has the capacity to carry eight or more passengers, regardless of the number of passengers in the vehicle: (a) Auto transportation company vehicles regulated under chapter 81.68 RCW; (b) passenger charter carrier vehicles regulated under chapter 81.70 RCW, except marked or unmarked stretch limousines and stretch sport utility vehicles as defined under department of licensing rules; (c) private nonprofit transportation provider vehicles regulated under chapter 81.66 RCW; and (d) private employer transportation service vehicles. For purposes of this subsection, "private employer transportation service" means regularly scheduled, fixed-route transportation service that is offered by an employer for the benefit of its employees. By June 30, 2013, the department shall report to the transportation committees of the legislature on whether private transportation provider use of high occupancy vehicle lanes under the pilot program reduces the speeds of high occupancy vehicle lanes. Nothing in this subsection is intended to authorize the conversion of public infrastructure to private, for-profit purposes or to otherwise create an entitlement or other claim by private users to public infrastructure. If chapter ... (Substitute Senate Bill No. 5836), Laws of 2011 is enacted by June 30, 2011, this subsection is null and void.
     (4) $9,000,000 of the motor vehicle account--state appropriation is provided solely for the department's incident response program.
     (5) ((The department, in consultation with the Washington state patrol, must continue a pilot program for the patrol to issue infractions based on information from automated traffic safety cameras in roadway construction zones on state highways. The department must report to the joint transportation committee by January 1, 2012, and January 1, 2013, on the status of this pilot program. 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.
