Environment Oregon endorses Metro measure 26-218. 

Metro measure 26-218, also known as “Get Moving 2020,” would be one of the largest-ever investments in greater Portland’s transportation system, and an important step to putting our region on the path to mitigating transportation’s outsized impact on our climate.

The proposed measure includes a lot of exciting projects including funding TriMet’s transition to a zero emission bus fleet, connecting a regional rapid bus network to get buses moving faster and more reliably, critical safety improvements, off street walking and biking infrastructure and a lot more. You can see the full list of proposed projects here. 

Please join us in voting yes on Metro measure 26-218 to help improve how we get around our region, reduce air pollution and fight climate change. 

Happy voting!
