You may have heard that the Oregon legislature is working to pass a 2025 transportation package focused on providing a stable source of revenue rather than relying on the gas tax. This transportation package could either reinforce the business-as-usual status quo or help to change our transportation system to be safer, cleaner, and more equitable for all people.
The Joint Committee on Transportation is hosting a series of roadshows to collect public input for the 2025 transportation package. This will be a big opportunity to express changes we’d like to see in the status quo. This is our chance to make sure that our dollars are spent to support transportation options for all people.
Bend Bikes strongly encourages you to attend the Bend stop of the Joint Committee on Transportation roadshow and advocate for statewide funding for active transportation networks (active transportation meaning transportation like walking, biking, rolling, or taking a bus). We are looking for several people to provide comments in person on September 12 from 4-7pm.
