The Washington State House of Representatives passed a supplemental transportation budget of $14.3 billion, an increase of $821 million for the enacted biennial budget with a vote of 93-2.
Much of the increase is for spending at the Department of Transportation and made possible by re-appropriated federal funding, increase cap-and-invest auction revenues, and accelerated Move Ahead Washington spending from available balances.
The Senate is expected to pass their version of the supplemental budget on Tuesday. The chambers will then work to reconcile their visions into a final version.
The 60-day legislative session is scheduled to adjourn March 7.
