Columbia River Crossing Oversight Subcommittee

ESSB 5024, Sec 204(3) directs the Joint Transportation Committee to continue the CRC Oversight Subcommittee in the 2013 interim, in order to educate legislators and others about Columbia River Crossing project, and to improve the flow of information between WSDOT and the legislative branch. The primary purposes of the Oversight Subcommittee are education and oversight. The Subcommittee is directed to review project and financing information, and to coordinate with the Oregon CRC Oversight Committee.
Composition of the Subcommittee is similar to the 2012 Subcommittee -- at least six members, as follows:
Two legislators appointed by the Senate Transportation Committee co-chairs
Two legislators appointed by the House Transportation Committee chair and ranking member
At least two of the legislators must be from legislative districts served by the bridge
One member appointed by the Governor
A citizen who lives in the area served by the bridge, appointed jointly by the four JTC members
The Washington Oversight Subcommittee will coordinate with the Oregon CRC Oversight Committee, or the Oregon House and Senate Transportation Committees, if the Oregon Oversight Committee is not reconstituted.
Budget: Existing funds
JTC Staff: Mary Fleckenstein, lead; Beth Redfield, back-up
HTC & STC Staff: David Munnecke, Alyssa Ball, Amy Skei, Kim Johnson and Clin​t McCarthy
