Join The Street Trust for a special East Portland Bike Audit! We're leading a short bike ride around the East Portland Community Center. Learn about street design & evaluate the bikeability of key locations. Bring your bike or use a free BIKETOWN e-bike! Sign up: www.thestreettrust.org/EastPDX

Would you like to borrow an adaptive bike from Adaptive BIKETOWN? We can coordinate adaptive bikes for those who are living with a disability or who can't ride the traditional 2-wheeled bikes.

We'll be using the AARP Bike Audit Tool Kit to identify unsafe streets, gather and document needed information and observations, and then advocate for solutions to make streets safer for all users. This clinic was funded in part by a grant from @aarp.org #AARPCommunityChallenge

We love putting on the Clackamas County Safe Routes to School Poster Contest! You can see the winners of the 7th Annual Contest now displayed through January 2027 in the Development Services Building on the Oregon City Red Soils Campus.

Selected designs — like the ones our Clackamas County SRTS Coordinator, Nicole, is holding here — were made into yard signs for school communities to encourage safe travel in areas around schools.

Motorcycle deaths have doubled, while pedestrian, bicyclist, & micromobility-user deaths have increased from 2025. This report underlines the urgency for the city & state to continue adding safety infrastructure to our streets, especially in North & East Portland most of the high crash corridors are

We recently delivered another few dozen lightweight ebikes through @thestreettrust.org 's Ride2Own program. This was the first youth-oriented group; these Parkrose high schoolers will log a year's worth of ebike use to help show that public ebike subsidies really change transportation patterns!

International Walk and Roll to School Day was a success! So many folks joined us. Looking out for each other and building community! Let's do this every day! #Tigard

The Street Trust's VERY FIRST Ride2Own e-bike program for youth started last week, and we're thrilled to be providing this low-carbon, more cost-effective, and safer transportation option to young people in the Parkrose neighborhood.

Through our partnership with the PATHfinder Club, this group of youth who have been impacted by incarceration, detention, and deportation will receive an e-bike, essential gear, safety education and opportunities for group rides.

Thanks to @ridevvolt.bsky.social and Velofix for being amazing partners and volunteer bike fitters. This program would not be possible without the support of the @pathfindernetwork.bsky.social.

Everyone who travels in or through Portland likely already knows the next 5 weeks will see a big disruption to traffic patterns as a large section of I-5 South is closed for repairs.

9 Sept

Our Interim CEO, Lindsay Huber, explained some of the ways the closure will effect bicyclists & pedestrians to KATU: "More congestion & unfamiliar traffic patterns can create additional safety challenges, particularly on these streets that were not designed to function as freeway detours."

Nsilo is the lead author of the 2026 Traffic Safety Report that brings critical attention to the transportation-related health inequities experienced by Black, African American, immigrant, and refugee communities in Multnomah County, particularly in North and East Portland.
