Metro wants to better understand the role of these investments in building stronger communities in the greater Portland region and in implementing the 2040 Growth Concept.
The purpose of this study is to shed light on the economic impacts of different active transportation projects throughout the region. One of the most important outcomes of the study is to inform future policy and decision making, including Regional Flexible Funding Allocations (RFFA).
