Executive Steering Group (ESG)

The Oregon and Washington Departments of Transportation convened the 12-member steering group to provide regional leadership recommendations on key program issues of importance to the community. Members of the ESG include representatives from the 10 bi-state partner agencies with a direct delivery or operational role in the integrated, multimodal transportation system around the Interstate Bridge, as well as a community representative from each state.
