BACKGROUND The 2005 state legislature enacted a number of new laws, including state funding for transportation, under the 2005 Transportation Partnership Act. The 2005 funding supplements the "Nickel package" approved in 2003. The 2005 funding package and the Nickel Package will have a major impact on implementation of the region's transportation plan. Attached are several documents that will provide some information on the funding and the proposed projects for our region. Attached are: . PSRC Information Package - 8 pages . WSDOT prepared charts on State Funding - 3 pages . WSDOT prepared map "Chokepoints and Bottlenecks" - 1 page . WSDOT prepared map "Safety Projects" - 1 page .

The funding package in the Partnership Act supplemented additional state funding the legislature approved in 2003 in what is commonly referred to as the Nickel Package. In addItion to the new state funding, the Partnership Act also included a number of accountability mechanisms, including empowering the State Auditor to conduct perfonnance audits of state transportation agencies and empowering the Governor to appoint the Secretary of Transportation, making WSDOT a cabinet agency. The funding mechanisms in the Partnership Act, combined with the Nickel Package, will have a profound impact on implementation ofthe region's transportation plan, Destination 2030. State, local and regional planners are now assessing the impact on projects within the region to better prepare for the next steps, including preparation of a regional ballot measure currently anticipated in 2006 and the update of Destination 2030. DISCUSSION Staffrrom the Washington State Department of Transportation will brief the board on the funding mechanisms in the Partnership Act and the impact on regional projects. A six page summary of the funding mechanisms in the Act prepared by the department is enclosed. Staff rrom the department will also make a presentation on the combined impact of the Nickel Package and the Partnership Act on projects in the region. For more infonnation, please contact Charlie Howard at (206) 464-7122.

The 2005 Washington State legislature provided a 16-year expenditure plan to take care of some of Washington State's most critical transportation needs.

Collected at the state level, the gas tax is distributed by statutory formula. The gas tax is covered by the 18th Amendment of the State Constitution and can only be used for highway purposes (State ferries are considered highways) Cities and Counties currently receive a statutory distribution of the gas tax. The 2005 Funding Package provides an additional distribution to local governments. Cites and Counties will each receive a quarter of a cent from the first 3~ increase in 2005, and another quarter of a cent each from the second increase in 2006 (totaling %It for each) Like the state, Cities and Counties must use these funds for highway purposes. The state (WSDOT) receives the remaining 2%~ from the 2005 and 2006 increases, 21t from the 2007 increase, and 1 %~ from the 2008 increase (totaling BYz~). The pie chart displays the new statutory distribution of the gas tax, through 2008 Statutory Distribution of the 37.5~ Gas Tax 2008 (31 ~ in 2005, 34~ in 2006, 36~ in 2007 and 37 .5~ in 2008) Counties: Prior to July 2005 tounties ree....,e 4.42~" In Jut-( 2005.lhe Feny's distribution inc.reases O.2S~ to 4.67,.

Looking at the gas tax over a period of time, from 1991 (when the gas tax was raised to 23~/gal) out to 2021, the effect of inflation is clearly evident. The value (in 1991 dollars) of the 23~ dips to a low of 18.1~ in 2003, then rises to 21 6~ when the nickel tax is added in 2004, then starts to decline again until 2005 when the new tax is implemented. It is projected to continue to rise through 2009 when it will reach a high of 26 3~. The value then will start to decline again, reaching a projected 1991 purchasing power value af 19.2i in 2021 Revenues from the gas tax (expressed in 1991 purchasing power) follow the same trend line. However motor fuel consumption and vehicles miles traveled continue to grow at a consistent rate over time. 1.8 Growth Rates Compared VMT, Fuel Consumption, Gas Tax Revenue, & Gas Tax Rate 1.6 1.4 1.2 1.0 23j! , - ('~_ 21.61! -, " Gu Tu Rate {1991 dollars) -__I 18.11! 0.8 0.6 I I - - I -----")1 .- .....Vehicle Miles Traveled i ! ! 51.35M i i I I t - 26.31! --- -...... -- -- ....... ; 19.21!1 ! 1991 1993 1995 1997 1999 2001 2003 2005 2007 2009 2011 2013 2015 2017 2019 2021 I 23: 25: 31(:. 34: 36i: 37 Sf: I T.X"Rate 3 How are transportation revenues from vehicle licenses, permits and fees used by the State?

Throughout the country, state and local governments impose a variety of cents-per-gallon taxes and taxes based on the retail or wholesale price of fuel, Some states also impose other environmental or business taxes that translate into cents-per -gallon charges at the pump. To determine how Washington compares, the Washington State Department of Transportation semi- annually analyzes data from other states to learn what taxes are imposed on fuel used by cars and trucks traveling on the nation's roads. The findings for the second half of 2004 place Washington's fuel taxes in the top 20 percent nationally, The national average state and local gasoline tax rate for this six-month period is 23 72rt per gallon. Washington's 28rt tax rate is similar to the other western states (Oregon 27.0rt, Idaho 25 Ott, and Montana 27 75rt) but still lower than states with congestion problems similar to ours (New York 35.22rt, California 33,1rt. and Florida 29A7rt), The findings also illustrate the complexity of fuel tax structures nationwide. This update of Fuel Taxes, A State-by-State Comparison reveals only minor changes from the previous report and covers the period from July 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004 Washington ranks 10th among the 50 states and the District of Columbia for combined state, federal, and local gasoline taxes, A majority of the states (34) have combined fuel tax rates that fall within the 20rt to 30rt range, seven states fall into the 30rt to 40rt range, and the remaining ten have combined fuel tax rates under 20rt. Since the June 2004 report, twelve states have had changes to their fuel tax rates. The accompanying tables detail the states, the change and the reason for change. The information in this report is gathered primarily from the Commerce Clearing House (CCH) State Tax Guide, Statute Summaries. In addition, data was supplemented with information supplied by individual states, official DOT websites and telephone interviews with officials in selected states.

Green River Valley Signal Interconnect Proiect Completion and Acceotance Totem Electric completed the installation of fiber optic cable WIth five chfu'1ge orders that upgraded the fiber to 36 strands and added the connection to Mmkler Shops for the new Traffic Operations Center. Jim H asked if there was a standard fiber SIze and was told no, that 36 is a lot but JIm M told him we can not have more capacity than what is needed. Frank added that 36 strands seems large now, but m a few years it may not be enough capacity. ThIs project had our in-house constructIOn management team, which resulted in over $28,000 m savings. The project has been approved, and is ready for final acceptance. Recommend cont~act approval on consent agenda of a Regular Meeting. 2. TransDortation Funding Update Pam Carter attended the Puget Sound RegIOnal CouncIl and obtained tIllS packet on the Nickel Package and the new 2005 funding. The 2005 transportation funding has a chart of the gas tax progression through 2008 as well as the new weight fees and the increase in drivers' license services as well as license plates. The average driver wIll be paying approximately $309.08 in gas ta.,"'{es and state license fees m 2005 There IS a descnption of how the funds will be dIstributed (for cities Its based on populatIOn) and a lrsting of programs and proJects. The majonty of the King County funds will go towards safety and then congestion. The last page is a state by state comparison of fuel taxes and Washington is currently number lO from the highest. Committee recommends forwarding to COvV as information for the entire Council. Committee ChaIr approvatli Minutes by GL /
