As a follow up to a recent briefing from Dana Dickman about Vision Zero enforcement activities, the Committee has asked to hear more about what PBOT’s activities/future intentions are around education. Dana Dickman and Sharon White will talk with the PAC about the educational activities PBOT is currently engaged in (especially in regards to awareness of existing to traffic laws), what our budget for education looks like, any best practices or research on education as a Vision Zero action, and what the Vision Zero team might be looking forward to doing under this topic moving forward.

7:40-8:25: PBOT Transportation Demand Management (Rescheduled) (55 min)
Liz Horman, PBOT Transportation Demand Specialist
The City of Portland has several adopted goals related to reducing the number of drive-alone trips on our roads, which negatively impact our climate, health and community. To date, PBOT has developed a number of programs (such as SmartTrips, the Transportation Wallet, Sunday Parkways and Safe Routes to School) that aim to help manage demand for our roadways and increase use of active transportation options. While many of these programs are popular and have a positive impact, we need to take a strategic look at which transportation demand management (TDM) strategies are most effective at reaching our mobility, equity and climate goals and best serve the needs of our community. Liz Hormann will discuss the City’s developing approach to reducing single-occupancy vehicle trips through TDM programming and policy and the upcoming TDM Action Plan
