Led by state Rep. Judy
Clibborn, the Legislature’s Joint Transportation
Committee (JTC) is getting an up-close and personal view of Wenatchee and
other North Central Washington communities.
The two-day visit is part of a series of tours that are giving leaders a
first-hand look at transportation needs and opportunities of communities across
Washington.
“These tours are helping us to
see the transportation challenges of every part of our state with open minds
and a bipartisan spirit,” said Rep. Clibborn, who chairs the House
Transportation Committee and is this year’s presiding co-chair of the JTC. 
Clibborn added that “Washington has been well-served by cooperative leadership on transportation issues and budgets, and we need this healthy cooperation to continue as we set priorities and face the challenges ahead.”.
The two-day tour is taking Democratic and Republican transportation leaders—including State Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond—through Monroe, Stevens Pass, Leavenworth, Wenatchee, Quincy, Ephrata, Moses Lake, Othello and Ellensburg.
At Stevens Pass, Reps. Judy Clibborn and Dean Takko took a look at a new electric-car charging station.
