State transportation funding was another focus at July’s CSG Transportation Policy Academy in Portland, Oregon. Rep. Judy Clibborn (D-WA) was among the speakers at the academy’s concluding roundtable discussion on July 20. Clibborn is the Chair of the Transportation Committee in the Washington House of Representatives and the co-chair of CSG’s Transportation Public Policy Committee. She spoke about Washington state’s pursuit of transportation revenues over the last decade and this year’s failure of a transportation funding package, which would have helped pay for a long-in-the-works bridge project.
