Summary: The Senate Transportation Committee held public hearings on three bills. For SB 6225, the proposed substitute bond bill, staff explained it would authorize $1.1 billion in general obligation bonds for transportation funding, an additional $400 million for completion of selected Move Ahead Washington highway projects, a $500 million increase in SR 520 bond authority, and the sunset of some unused older bond authorizations. For SB 6005, the supplemental transportation budget, staff described a $17.5 billion six-year plan that adds $1.5 billion, including reappropriations, preservation and maintenance funding, adjustments tied to lower revenues and Climate Commitment Account forecasts, and assumptions about future ferry financing. For SB 6354, staff outlined a bill allowing limited direct sales by qualifying EV-only manufacturers, increasing the documentary service fee, and directing part of the new revenue to EV rebates and multimodal transportation funding. Testimony on SB 6005 and SB 6225 was broadly supportive from transit, biking, climate, labor, ports, cities, counties, and business groups, with repeated emphasis on preservation, safety, ferry reliability, freight mobility, and maintaining or expanding climate-related transportation investments. Several witnesses asked for specific project or program changes, including more funding for EV charging, rail electrification and rail capital projects, ferry investments, local bridge and road projects, Spokane TMC operations, county flood response, and freight corridor work in Kent and Lynnwood. Some witnesses also urged the committee to avoid House-proposed reductions to local programs and to preserve long-term bonding and six-year funding stability. Testimony on SB 6354 was split. Supporters, including Climate Solutions, the Washington State Auto Dealers Association, Rivian, Lucid, and some franchise dealers, called it a compromise that would expand EV access while preserving consumer protections and dealer licensing requirements. Opponents, including the Alliance for Automotive Innovation and Honda, argued the bill creates unequal rules by exempting certain manufacturers from the franchise model and said they had not been part of any real compromise. The committee took no votes during the hearing and announced that SB 6225 and SB 6005 would be in executive session Thursday at 8 a.m., with amendments due by noon the prior day; SB 6354 would be acted on later.
