In 2019, The Legislature passed the Washington State Ferries 2040 Long Range Plan. Parts of this plan were delayed by Gov. Ferguson. What is the long-term financial sustainability of our ferries?" The House Transportation Committee considers issues related to a broad range of multimodal transportation services and infrastructure for all communities and residents regardless of physical and mental disability, income status or age and the intersection of transportation policy with the environment and safety. The committee also considers the transportation budget and revenues to fund investments in transportation and related carbon-reduction programs, and transportation agencies, including the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission, the Washington State Patrol, and the Department of Transportation. 📚 20 min.
