WA SB5757

50% of all revenue from automated traffic safety camera infractions must be deposited in the state motor vehicle fund, a new requirement that applies even to jurisdictions with pre-existing camera programs

Amends RCW 46.63.220 to modify how cities and counties distribute revenue from speed cameras, red light cameras, and other automated traffic enforcement systems

Existing revenue allocation rules remain for local traffic safety activities, including complete streets projects, infrastructure improvements for active transportation users, and camera program administration costs

Jurisdictions with programs predating January 1, 2024 retain flexibility in revenue allocation but are now subject to the new 50% state deposit requirement

Beginning four years after camera placement, 25% of excess revenue (after costs) continues to be deposited into the Cooper Jones active transportation safety account
