(3) $500,000 of the motor vehicle account — state appropriation is provided solely for the commission to conduct a pilot program in one or more regions of the state to support reforming electric vehicle incentives to prioritize getting the largest gasoline users to switch to electric vehicles first.

The purpose of the pilot program is to significantly advance policymakers' understanding around the dynamics impacting the consumer decisions to transition from a fossil-fueled vehicle to an electric vehicle, and the long-term implications and effectiveness of continued incentivization of expanded adoption.

The commission may determine how best to cost-effectively identify pilot program participants, which may include recruiting broadly from the general population, especially in areas with higher concentrations of low-MPG vehicles in suburban, exurban, and rural areas, and then screening those who volunteer to validate their gasoline superuser status with independent data sources.

(b) How much money can superusers save by switching to electric vehicles;

(c) How many gallons of gasoline are displaced by superusers switching to electric vehicles;

(d) What incentive(s) do superusers need to make the switch to electric vehicles;

The commission may consider adjusting maximum toll rates, minimum toll rates, time-of-day rates, restricting direct access ramps to transit and HOV vehicles only, or any combination thereof, in setting tolls to increase toll revenue.

The direction in this subsection is deemed consistent with the general intent of the move ahead WA transportation funding proposal.
