As congestion increasingly stresses our transportation infrastructure, there will be an ongoing need for the private sector to affect what it can in partnership with jurisdictions to "plan smart" for the future of how transportation relates to land use planning and jobs in our region. The obvious areas are pressure points in the "feeder" system, the I-5 corridor as it relates to freight mobility and moving people, the I-5 Bridge whether it is replaced or reconfigured, public transportation including light rail, freight mobility between the Port of Vancouver and I-5, and major arterials that feed into the interstate system. Legislative authorization for local funding options, a long-term statewide funding mechanism, voter education and support all fall within the parameters of issues to be addressed in transportation.
ICC provides support for many regional transportation issues, from deepening of the Columbia River Channel to relocation of the rail bridge swing span - and all roads in between.
