The Columbia River Crossing (CRC) is a $4+ billion dollar proposed freeway expansion project along a five mile stretch of Interstate 5 between North Portland and Vancouver, WA. As conceived, the project will

Increase global warming pollution
Harm people’s health
Undermine our region’s vision of a sustainable economy.
Leave us unprepared for the future, while draining $4 billion of our limited public resources from other transportation projects.

A Climate Smart CRC would reduce global warming pollution to conform with Oregon's and Washington's climate change goals rather than including a 12 lane bridge that encourages people to drive more. The CRC project must be modified to help people drive less.
