Whether there's a leak in the roof at the Oregon Convention Center, or an old air conditioner breaks at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Metro is responsible for making sure greater Portland's facilities are well-maintained. At the same time, Metro is also working to make sure that access to nature – whether it's through 17,000 acres of parks, trails and natural areas, or through conservation education at the Oregon Zoo, are accessible and informative.
