Transportation Benefit District meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month starting at 3:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as may be heard, unless otherwise noted. Washington State law allows cities and counties to create a Transportation Benefit District (TBD) that collects certain fees and taxes to help implement transportation projects within its boundaries. This legislation protects the revenue raised by the TBD by not allowing it to be used on other county programs. In 2014, Thurston County created a TBD covering the unincorporated areas of the County. It does not include any incorporated cities or towns, but it does include the urban growth areas just outside the city limits of the cities and towns. The goal is to invest revenue raised by the TBD to improve Thurston County’s transportation network by making roads safer, increasing our investment in preservation, and updating our technology.
