As expected, the SW Washington Regional Transportation Commission became the final local government to endorse the Columbia River Crossing Locally Preferred Alternative.
But…
In their endorsement they included a recommendation that tolling ONLY be used to pay for construction, NOT as a demand management tool.
This puts the RTC squarely opposite the recommendation on Portland and Metro which want tolls as a way to manage demand in the corridor.
Where and when do we imagine these conflicting views will get reconciled?
