Washington is among the top states in the country that spends the majority of its gas tax revenue on road construction and maintenance, a Reason Foundation study found.

According to the study, the state diverted $194 million – or 5.4 percent – of its $3.6 billion in gas tax revenue to projects unrelated to its roads. Most projects were related to transportation, including mass transit and sidewalk programs.
