A conservative think tank says Washington state’s roads and bridges have done nothing but deteriorate since 2012 and state lawmakers need to refocus on maintaining them rather than propping up public transportation.

The center proposes a number of solutions to address the conditions of the state’s transportation system, including reforming transit agency governance, cutting unnecessary costs out of public road projects, prioritizing highway maintenance over transit and non-highway efforts and allowing revenue from the state’s carbon emissions fee to be used for fixing state highways and culverts.
