flag Washington halted its $30M fuel surcharge rebate program due to budget cuts, replacing it with a transparency map for exempt fuel prices.

flag Washington has ended its $30 million rebate program for farmers and truckers who paid fuel surcharges under the Climate Commitment Act, despite processing $7.89 million in refunds to 2,744 applicants. flag The halt, due to lack of funding in the 2025 budget, follows complaints about fuel distributors charging up to 70 cents per gallon in surcharges despite exemptions. flag In response, the Department of Ecology launched an online map identifying retailers selling exempt agricultural fuel without surcharges, aiming to provide at-the-pump savings and simplify access. flag The change replaces the complex rebate process amid ongoing legal challenges to exemption rules.
