Concerning transportation resources.

Summary

The law creates a 6.5% sales tax on most retail purchases, adds a temporary 11.9% car‑rental tax for 2026 (dropping to 9.9% in 2027), and imposes small additional taxes on motor‑vehicle sales, peer‑to‑peer car sharing and recreational‑boat sales. All of the new revenue is directed to the state’s multimodal transportation fund. The changes aim to provide reliable financing for Washington’s near‑, mid‑ and long‑term transportation needs.
