Washington State Commissioners Conduct RUC Program Review
KIRO Radio reports on this week’s review of Washington’s road usage charge assessment project before the state transportation commission. A briefing by the project manager, CDM’s Travis Dunn, triggered discussion of several issues, including the use of vehicle telematics in place of on-board units to record and report mileage data. Privacy and equity concerns were also addressed. When the commission submits a year-end report on the program to the state legislature, it will request authorization to launch an RUC pilot on at least a limited basis. Commission executive director Reema Griffith reportedly suggested that the state needs to pick up the pace of its program. Following the briefing, the commissioners heard a presentation on OReGo, Oregon DOT’s RUC pilot program, from Maureen Bock, ODOT’s chief innovation officer.
