2007 Regional Annual Household Transportation Tax Index
Creating a regional transportation tax index shows how much the average household currently pays in transportation related taxes in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties. Most transportation taxes do not affect a majority of people and therefore do not have a consistent impact on a household budget. The taxes chosen for this index include only those that have a consistent or annual effect on a majority of households within the regions studied.
