Commission Annual Reports

Autonomous Vehicle Work Group

The Washington State Legislature and the Washington State Transportation Commission (WSTC) are preparing for the arrival of autonomous vehicles (AVs). Through 2023, a diverse Work Group Executive Committee and seven Subcommittees will develop recommendations to prepare for this advancing technology. These recommendations include possible policies, laws and rules to support the safe operation of AVs on public roadways in the state.

Road Usage Charge Assessment

In 2012, the Legislature directed the Transportation Commission, in close cooperation with WSDOT and with guidance from a multi-stakeholder steering committee, to conduct an assessment of Road Usage Charging and determine if it is feasible. Road Usage Charging (RUC) is the notion of charging users of the road system a per mile charge, as opposed to our current system in which we pay for our roads via a gas tax that is assessed on a per gallon basis at the time we purchase our fuel.
