Poll Results Show 60% of Washingtonians Willing To Pay Higher Taxes For Transportation Improvements

Sixty percent of Washington State residents are "willing to consider raising some transportation taxes and fees" to pay for transportation improvements (a nine percent increase from a year ago), according to results from the latest "Voices of Washington" Survey.
 
Participants were asked how they feel about the transportation system, what their transportation investment priorities are, and if they think the state has enough revenue to meet future needs. And the 5800 people that participated had some interesting responses.
