Washington State 2015 Gas Tax Increase
Washington Senate Bill (2015) Title of Bill: Senate Bill 5987 Purpose: A $16 billion, 16-year transportation plan, which included an 11.9 cents-per-gallon gas tax increase—gradually implemented beginning Aug. 1, 2015, and fully applied on July 1, 2016—and an increase in transportation-related fees, including those for overweight vehicles. The bill also permits Sound Transit residents to vote on a plan to increase taxes for an additional $15 billion in order to expand the region’s light rail system. Status of Amendment: Passed Washington Senate Bill 5987 (2015) Signed into law: July 15, 2015 Senate House FOR 37 54 AGAINST 7 44 History State Gas Tax Before SB 5987, drivers in Washington state paid a flat excise tax on gasoline of 37.5 cents-per-gallon. That amount was last set in 2005, when the state legislature approved a 9.5 cents-per-gallon state gas tax increase (phased in over four years). The package, including an increase in vehicle weight fees, was estimated to raise $8.5 billion over a 16-year period. Previous gas tax increases were implemented in 2003, 1991, and 1990. Gas Tax Distribution & Transportation Funding Sources Washington state’s highway and ferry system is funded through a combination of motor vehicle fuel taxes (23%); vehicle licenses, permits, and fees (12%); federal funds (26%); bonding (23%), and other sources such as tolling, ferry fares, and local funding (16%).i The transportation budget pays for “maintaining, preserving, and improving the highway system; operating ferries; motor vehicle registration; and enforcing traffic laws on the state highway system.” ii The state’s gas tax of 37.5 cents-per-gallon was constitutionally dedicated for ‘highway purposes’ in the 18th Amendment (November 1944).

April 20, 2020 the Honorable Governor Jay
April 20, 2020 The Honorable Governor Jay Inslee Office of the Governor P.O. Box 40002 Olympia, WA 98504-0002 Dear Gov. Inslee: The coronavirus has had a daunting effect on lives across the globe, in our country, state and our communities. Dealing with an unknown enemy is not something any of us thought we would be doing as this year began. It is a challenge for all of us, but now more than ever we need leadership to start bringing back our economy and get people back to work. We are reaching a very critical juncture. The “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order has been effective, and our citizens should be commended for doing a good job of keeping our state healthy. However, as we continue to require people to stay home, not working, their mental state begins to deteriorate. In communities across Washington stress and anxiety are increasing. We are also concerned about the potential increase of domestic violence, child abuse and suicide. While we must not lose focus on our public health, it is a mental health and quality of life issue for those who are out of work and stuck in their homes. The longer we operate under lockdown type conditions, the more vulnerable people become. Without an official plan to restart our economy, very soon the standard in Washington could end up being high unemployment and a smaller economy. That would be devastating. People want to go back to work. They want job security and to be able to provide for their families. They also are hungry for outdoor recreation such as fishing, golf and other outdoor activities.
