Please join Metro and ODOT to discuss how mobility is defined in greater Portland. This Regional Mobility policy forum is tailored to freight and business interests, including professional organizations, distributors and more.
Today greater Portland has a policy on mobility that relies on a vehicle-based measure of mobility (the ratio of vehicles on a roadway during the commute to its capacity). It is limiting for a transportation system that is far more complex.
Our region’s policies need to balance mobility for people riding a bus or train, biking, walking or moving goods. The policies should consider why and where people need to travel, how long it takes to reach a destination, how reliable the trip is and if the system is safe for all users.
It is important that the policy is updated so that it can more completely consider all the important elements of mobility and help our region’s transportation system keep up with a changing world. Metro seeks feedback about draft elements and measures for the updated policy.
