Commissioners press staff for road‑user charge updates ahead of 2028 deadline
Summary
Commissioners expressed concern the mandatory per‑mile road‑user charge remains without an active task force and requested the new interim director and staff restart the road‑user committee so implementation milestones can be met before 2028.
Commissioners used the consent‑agenda discussion to press staff on implementation of the mandatory per‑mile road‑user charge included in HB 3991. Commissioner Baker and Vice Chair Beyer both said the committee created to guide the road‑user charge has not met recently and that the implementation timeline is tight for a 2028 start.
Staff (S10) said the road‑user task force requires joint legislative appointments of members other than the transportation commission, and that vacancies have left the task force without a quorum. The chair directed staff to work with the new interim director to restart the committee and provide an update on RUC milestones at the August meeting.
