2005 Washington Revised Code RCW 81.100.010: Purpose.

The need for mobility, growing travel demand, and increasing traffic congestion in urban areas necessitate accelerated development and increased utilization of the high-occupancy vehicle system. RCW 81.100.030 and 81.100.060 provide taxing authority that counties or regional transportation investment districts can use in the near term to accelerate development and increase utilization of the high-occupancy vehicle system by supplementing available federal, state, and local funds.
