That RTA tax is what kicks you in the ass. Every metro area gets taxed it… Snohomish, King, and Pierce County. All to go to the damn lightrail.

RTA fees, for my 2018 Hyundai Sonata was $283. I’m terrified for how much it will be with my 2023 Subaru Crosstrek.

The Tab fee… is only like $30-35. I think(? I’ll check the email) when I registered in December it was $30 for them.

Edit: Not all of the RTA excise goes to Lightrail. A good majority of it (I think DMV said over 40%) goes towards the funding of the metro/lightrail. The rest goes to fund roads, public transport, etc).
