The Street Trust's 2020 Active Transportation Summit will be March 18 & 19, 2020, at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland.
 

Oregon’s transportation system faces urgent challenges. The transportation sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Oregon. For most households, the cost of owning and operating a car is their largest household expense after housing.

More than 300 supporters celebrated The Street Trust and the movement for active transportation at a sold-out Alice Awards last month. The event raised nearly $100,000 for The Street Trust’s programs to make walking, biking, and transit safe and convenient.

The Street Trust Board of Directors voted to endorse a regional measure that will improve access to natural spaces in the Portland metro region. Measure 23-206 will be on the ballot in November 2019. 

As bike safety educators, The Street Trust sees first hand the conditions that prevent kids from walking and rolling to school. Huge unsignalized road crossings with fast-moving cars, incomplete sidewalks, and no bike facilities are common.

The 2019 bike safety education season is underway at schools in Portland. We need your help to support kids to have a fun, safe community ride to cap their bike safety experience. 

The Street Trust’s annual Alice Awards are Friday, September 27 at 5:30 PM at Castaway Portland. Tickets are available for purchase at www.thestreettrust.org.

Women Bike held a summer social July 30th to bring our lively Facebook community together to talk about all things cycling and public transit.

Ride the Portland Century on Sunday, August 18, and support The Street Trust’s work to make walking, biking, and transit safe and convenient! 

Metro is planning a transportation funding measure for the November 2020 ballot.
