 The West Coast Corridor Coalition (WCCC) advocates collaborative solutions to transportation system challenges on the West Coast Corridor.
WCCC members represent the states of Alaska, California, Oregon and Washington.
Specific WCCC objectives are to:
- Develop and mutually support a roster of “projects of corridor significance” that serve the nation and the region.
- Share “best practices” in order to optimize the capacity and performance of the existing corridor system.
- Encourage joint effort and effective cooperation among West Coast state, regional and local governments and the private sector.
- Advocate for financing options to fund transportation system improvements serving the interests of the Coalition, including both additional funding and regulator changes.
In April 2009, the Board of Directors adopted the Coalition's Business Plan, available here:
