Providing for the suspension of tolling on certain facilities in the event of an emergency.

HB 2379 requires Washington's Department of Transportation to automatically suspend tolls on facilities designated as evacuation routes during declared emergencies. This applies directly to drivers using those specific routes when an emergency (like a natural disaster) makes evacuation necessary. The bill mandates that toll suspension continues until the department determines it is no longer needed for evacuation purposes. The key mechanism is an automatic, mandatory toll pause for evacuation routes, with no manual approval required during the emergency.
