Take Action for a Climate Smart Columbia River Crossing Project Now!

The Columbia River Crossing is the biggest public works project in our region's history. Projected to cost a whopping $3.6 billion, the CRC aims to rebuild and widen the I-5 bridges spanning the Columbia River.

Unfortunately, the design being considered would significantly increase global warming pollution, harm people’s health, and undermine our region’s vision of a sustainable economy, all while siphoning billions of limited public resources from addressing other critical transportation needs.

Sound off for Equity! - Online Forums for Regional Equity

Contribute your stories and ideas to help inform CLF's Equity Action Agenda by visiting our  online Regional Equity Feedback Forum. Click the "Feedback Forum" link at www.equityatlas.org and fire off your ideas, stories, and feedback in response to the questions we've posed.

The Regional Equity Atlas maps equity conditions in the greater metropolitan region. By measuring access to opportunities like affordable housing, transit, parks and grocery stores, the Atlas illustrates which people and places have the best access and which ones have the worst access to these important assets. Visit www.equityatlas.org to view sample maps and learn more about the Equity Atlas.

Shift the Balance is our current campaign to influence two big transportation decisions: The big plan--Metro's Regional Transportation Plan Update which will determine how our region will spend at least $4.2 billion on transportation projects over the next 20 years. And, the big project--The Columbia River Crossing Project, which is looking at rebuilding the I-5 bridges across the Columbia River.

Learn more about regional transportation issues and how we're trying to shift the balance towards a more sustainable and equitable transportation system.
