By 2030, bicycling will be fully intertwined with Portland’s regional transit system. Streetcar, light and commuter rail, water taxis and bus transit are all planned and operated with the needs of bicyclists in mind and as high-priority customers who will reach transit stations by bike and partner to reduce reliance on the automobile.
The rise in Portland bicycle use has been accompanied by a sharp increase in safety for all residents due to the use of international best practices in bikeway design, bicyclist and motorist safety campaigns, enforcement of high-risk traffic behaviors and evolution of laws and attitudes. Improved safety is tied to the increasing numbers of bicyclists, many of whom have reduced their driving trips and come to appreciate the lower stress experience of pedaling for daily transportation.
This project also includes one-year updates to the bike plan.
