Proposed $16 billion transportation ![]()
The House and Senate Transportation Committee chairs unveiled a proposed $16 billion transportation revenue package called Move Ahead Washington. This is good news for our agency, our transportation system and the people of our state. This is an unusual step in a short session year and is an indication of the value and importance placed on our work. It also shows lawmakers’ understanding of the challenges we currently face. If approved, this proposed package will be an important investment in our transportation system and enable us to better fulfill our mission and enhance our multimodal transportation system for the people we serve. Move Ahead Washington proposal
Delivery Please be mindful that funding – and work – will be spread over many years, so this will be much more of a marathon than a sprint. Thankfully, we have examples of our successful work on the Nickel, TPA and Connecting Washington packages as a roadmap. For those of you worried about your workload, I want to let you know that we recognize that and we have been sharing those expectations with lawmakers and will work with the Legislature to identify a reasonable delivery schedule for the proposal.
