Clackamas County stops short on tolling opposition
'Values' document recognizes that legislature, ODOT have 'authority' to charge drivers crossing I-205 bridge.
Clackamas County officials say they are taking a "values-based approach" rather than outright opposition to tolling in recognition that ODOT has the "existing authority to implement tolling" and continues advancing the concept.
County commissioners this week adopted the set of "values" to guide how transportation in the metro region should be funded. The one-page document issued Thursday, April 15, stopped short of calling on the legislature and Oregon Department of Transportation to divert their focus from potential plans to implement tolls.
