Vision Zero
We are concluding an audit of the Vision Zero program that the City of Portland adopted in 2016. The goal of Vision Zero is to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries on the roads inside the City of Portland.
This audit objective is to determine if the Portland Bureau of Transportation identified and delivered safety projects from the Vision Zero Action Plan in a timely and equitable manner. We anticipate publishing audit results in the Summer of 2024.
Please email Bob Mackay with feedback or questions.
Citywide Asset Management
We are in the early planning phases of an audit of the City's approach to managing its assets.
The City owns and manages a wide variety of natural and built assets, such as parks, roads, community centers, water and storm water systems, civic buildings, emergency response equipment, and information technology. When and how the City invests in assets impacts the delivery of public services.
Please email Jennifer Amiott with your feedback or questions.
Office of Arts & Culture's Management of the Arts Education and Access Fund
We are in the early planning phase of an audit of the City's Office of Arts & Culture's management of the Arts Education and Access Fund (AEAF). The City's Arts Tax is the source for the AEAF.
Please email Jenny Scott with any input or questions.
Parks fiscal management
Respondents to City surveys say their favorite part of where they live is access to outdoor and natural areas. Yet, Portland Parks & Recreation struggled with a $6.3 million budget shortfall in 2019, and significantly reduced operations during the pandemic. We recently started an audit to examine the current fiscal management of the bureau.
We want to engage with community members to help inform our audit focus. Please email Mason Atkin with any input or questions.
Climate Justice
We are in the early planning phase for an audit of the City's plans for climate justice.
