In late 2008, members of the West Coast Transportation Commissions from Washington, Oregon and California began to have conversations regarding critical transportation issues impacting the west coast states – these periodic conversations continue today. The three Commissions have taken joint positions on very important transportation topics and will continue to work towards identifying future topics which the the three can jointly support.
Once a policy area is identified and the details worked out, the end result is a joint letter from the three State Transportation Commissions to the collective West Coast Congressional delegations.
