Bipartisan transportation forum in Vancouver October 7

Senate Transportation Committee co-chairs Sen. Curtis King (R-Yakima) and Sen. Tracey Eide (D-Federal Way) announced that Vancouver will be included in a statewide listening tour aimed at gathering input from Washington residents on building a new package of transportation projects.

Legislators will hold the public meeting in Vancouver on Monday, October 7 from 6 to 9 p.m. inside the Vancouver Community Library’s Columbia Room at 901 “C” St.

“Transportation is the backbone to a vital economy, both for jobs and for a strong infrastructure that drives economic development,” Eide said. “We need to make sure the public understands what’s at stake here, and the public needs the opportunity to make their priorities known.”

Eide noted that all legislators and local elected officials are invited to participate in the bipartisan forum.
