Washington state department of transportation may enter into
agreements with municipalities as defined in
RCW
35.95.020 and with regional transit
authorities authorized under chapter 81.112 RCW allowing them to operate and
maintain park and ride lots under the jurisdiction of the department. Provided,
that nothing in this section shall be construed as expanding or limiting the
powers or authority of any entity entering into an agreement covered by this
section.
These agreements may include those parking management elements
which the municipalities and regional transit authorities are authorized by law
to implement and manage including, but not limited to:
(1) The issuing of permits such as high
occupancy vehicle permits or permits designating a time of arrival. Such
permits shall be issued at no cost unless allowed by state and local
law;
(2) The reservation of a
portion of stalls for the exclusive or time-specific use of permitted
vehicles;
(3) The enforcement
against unauthorized uses through impoundment, ticketing, or other measures as
governed by applicable state and local laws and regulations. Enforcement
measures may also include the establishment of parking time limit maximums
consistent with
RCW
46.55.070; or
(4) The temporary closure of underutilized
sections of park and ride facilities to reduce maintenance and operation costs.
For the purposes of this chapter, a "permit" is defined as any
document or electronic record approved by and/or issued by a municipality or
regional transit authority that when properly displayed or implemented by the
permittee authorizes a vehicle to park.
