Issue Position: Transportation

Issue Position

I will fight for holistic transportation solutions that improve quality of life and the environment. That means well-lit TriMet stops, accessible public transportation, more sidewalks on roads that need them - all with a goal of reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions.

I believe we need to pivot our transportation planning away from building more highways and freeways to a model that incentivizes public transportation, car-free zones, and alternative modes of transportation like walking and biking. I believe in having a publically funded TriMet system with expanded rail options and a Bus Rapid Transit System that would improve access for people like the families I work with. Free public transportation benefits those looking for better ways to get around and moves the ball forward in terms of sustainable growth models that reduce harmful environmental impacts.
