Washington state lawmakers unveil supplemental transportation budget proposals, focusing on infrastructure repair. The Senate plan allocates $1.7 billion over six years, while the House proposes $335 million this biennium and $435 million in 2027-2029. Both chambers agree on funding for the Fairfax Bridge, with the House setting aside $12 million and the Senate committing $3 million. Governor Bob Ferguson advocates for these investments, and lawmakers from both parties collaborated on the bills. The proposals skip the governors $1 billion borrowing request for new ferries, opting to plan ferry needs later. Funding comes from last years revenue boosts and bonds, with no new taxes this year.
