The bill aims to address the pressing needs of Washington's transportation system by establishing new revenue sources to support its maintenance and growth. The legislature acknowledges the challenges posed by rising construction costs and decreasing fuel tax revenues, which are attributed to improved fuel efficiency in vehicles. By recognizing the importance of a reliable transportation system for both residents' mobility and the state's economic development, the bill seeks to ensure that adequate funding is available to meet these needs.

To achieve this, the bill introduces a new section that emphasizes the necessity of diversifying transportation funding sources. This initiative is intended to sustain the level of service that Washington residents rely on while also promoting economic activity and growth within the state. The overarching goal is to create a robust transportation infrastructure that can adapt to current and future demands.
