Portland is a city where people travel by car, public transit, walking and bicycling. Each is here to stay. Biking is part of our city's culture, and in 2012, Bicycling magazine ranked Portland as the most bike-friendly city in the country. With the release of City Club’s report on bicycle transportation in Portland, we’ll answer the question: "How should we improve our transportation system to optimize choice, efficiency and safety for all modes of transportation?"

City Club of Portland: Because bringing civic-minded people together is what we do. Civic Drinks, the 1st Tuesday of each month, is a mix of informal conversation, connection and cocktails. It's your opportunity to mingle with local leaders, City Club members, and others involved or interested in civic issues.  

Calling All Advocates!

Do want to advocate for common sense policy proposals to deal with challenging issues in our community? Perhaps you have skills that you can share with your fellow club members? Or maybe you have always wanted to learn to advocate successfully, but have never had the opportunity – or the nerve – to try?

We need you! We are recruiting for two advocacy committees forming now. The first is for the recommendations in the Air Quality Report. The second is for the Bicycle Transportation Report to be released in late May.

Interested? Let us know by filling out this survey!
