What do the people of greater Portland want from their transportation investments? Safety. Reliability. Equity. More options to get where we need to go.
This month, at events across the region, neighbors, community leaders and transportation experts are coming together to talk about how to make our transportation system work better for everyone, whether you drive, take transit, walk, roll, or ride a bike. Come to share your views and learn about local investments that could be part of a 2020 regional transportation funding measure.
Light refreshments will be served at each event. See below for information about language interpretation.
