The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) is a community partner in shaping a livable city. We plan, build, manage and maintain an effective and safe transportation system that provides people and businesses access and mobility. We keep Portland moving.
Using a microsurfacing method, PBOT crews are able to repair a road within a few hours, keeping the road in good condition and extending its lifespan by at least six years.
