Not true: Given this choice, there will _always_ be people willing to pay a couple of bucks to avoid the traffic. I remember facing this exact decision on the NJT a few years back, and I know it's a routine decision for my Dad re: the Autostrada. Do you take the toll road, for a few dollars, and face low traffic and reasonably good roads, or do you rot in traffic and save a few bucks?
If that's really what the WA DOT administrators are saying, they're completely out of touch with human behavior.
