The bill establishes a graffiti abatement and reduction pilot program under the Washington State Department of Transportation, contingent upon available funding. The program will focus on several key initiatives, including the field testing of spray drone technology to efficiently cover existing graffiti, investigating systems to identify individuals responsible for graffiti damage, and implementing additional graffiti prevention techniques. The primary areas of focus for these efforts will be the Interstate 5 Puget Sound region from Tacoma to Seattle and the north Spokane corridor.
Additionally, the department is required to report its findings and the use of funds to the appropriate legislative committees by December 1, 2024. The section detailing this program is set to expire on July 1, 2025.
