Legislative Session is just around the corner, and WPPA is gearing up to represent port interests in the legislature. We’ve invited Dave Catterson, JTC Coordinator along with JTC Staff to discuss four important transportation-themed studies that your port should be aware of:

• Broadband Access to State Right of Way

• Assessment of State Support for Short Line Rail Infrastructure

• Truck Parking Action Plan

• Hood River Bridge Bi-State Authority

Washington’s Joint Transportation Committee (JTC) is a bicameral committee that completes transportation-related research, conducts studies and makes recommendations for legislative action. We will discuss recommendations and the potential for legislative action this upcoming session addressing issues identified by the research teams.
