Members of the Oregon Solutions Historic Columbia River Highway Collaborative have signed a Declaration of Cooperation outlining goals for the project.  The collaborative made up of more than a dozen stakeholder groups seeks to improve pedestrian and vehicle safety along the Columbia River Highway and enhance visitor experiences.  Specific commitments include establishing an Oregon Department of Transportation “Gorge Express” pilot transfer service between Rooster Rock State Park to Multnomah Falls, improving safety for pedestrians and drivers accessing the Gorge, seeking additional funding for future transportation and congestion relief projects, increasing availability of public safety officers to control high-traffic locations, and developing short, medium, and long term congestion management strategies.  Participating members of the project will continue to meet over the coming months.
