From Mid-Columbia Economic Development (MCEDD):
Mid-Columbia Gorge Region, including Skamania, Klickitat, Sherman, Wasco, Hood River counties –Residents throughout the Columbia River Gorge rely on transit services to get to key destinations like work, school, and healthcare. The Mid-Columbia Economic Development District (MCEDD) is leading a process to make accessing transit in the gorge easier and better coordinated - for both local residents and visitors.
MCEDD is now seeking public input on opportunities to create a regional transit system in the Gorge with an online public open house – open now through November 27, 2022. The online open house includes a map that includes new and expanded services and destinations. The survey gives residents the opportunity to add to or modify that map.
