Provide feedback on proposal for low-income discount on local toll roads

The Washington State Transportation Commission, in partnership with the Washington State Department of Transportation, is developing a low income toll discount program. The program is proposed to launch later this year on the SR 509 and SR 167 Expressways.

The Transportation Commission has released a proposal and is seeking public feedback before making a final decision. The proposal would:

• Provide a 50% discount off the applicable Good To Go! pass toll rate for two-axle vehicles.
• Be available to customers with a household income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level who have a Good To Go! account and use a pass.

There are several ways you can learn more and share your thoughts:

• Online Open House: 
• Available through Friday, July 10. 
• Review information about the proposal and submit written comments.
• Virtual Public Input Meeting: Tuesday, July 7, at 6:30 p.m. 
• Information will be shared on the proposal, and the public will have an opportunity to testify.
• Zoom registration is required.
• Transportation Commission Public Hearing: 
• Tuesday, July 21, at 3:15 p.m. Members of the public may provide testimony before the commission considers taking action on the proposal. 
• Zoom registration is required
