This effort is the result of networking by Alan Durning of Sightline Institute in Seattle, and Chris Hagerbaumer of the Oregon Environmental Council, who connected me up with others in the state that were interested in the same changes.
Stay tuned

- Specifies that the Personal Vehicle carsharing company must provide insurance that is at least 3x the state minimum requirements
