Urgent Conversation about Transportation Funding

District 4 Local Transportation Funding Open House
Date: Thursday, February 19
Time: 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Location: Rieke Elementary School Gym (1405 SW Vermont St.)

How should Portland raise new revenue for transportation infrastructure maintenance, and where should it be spent? Just weeks ago, a pothole was suspected to have contributed to a cyclist’s death in Portland, making this not just a dry policy issue, but one with real-life consequences.

Citing a long-term decline in funding for transportation in the City budget, District 4 Councilor Olivia Clark last year sponsored a successful resolution setting up a process to identify new funding sources. That new process has kicked off with open house events in each district to discuss funding with reps from the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT).

From the PBOT webpage: “As the city’s transportation maintenance backlog continues to grow, Portland City Council is considering new ways to fund the maintenance and operation of Portland’s streets, sidewalks, bridges, signs, lights, and other infrastructure.” The open house is an opportunity for Portland residents to join the conversation about local transportation funding and weigh in on a variety of options and opportunities.
