Portland's Coalition for a Livable Future

Help the Coalition for a Livable Future Shift the Balance!

* Are you concerned about transportation and how it impacts your
family, your community and our region’s livability?

* Would you like to have your voice heard in determining how
transportation dollars are spent over the next 30 years?

Now, is your chance to make a difference!

A year from now Metro will adopt a new Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), which will guide how we spend at least $4.2 billion on transportation in the metropolitan area over the next 30 years. The Coalition for a Livable Future has crafted/ /a strategy for a balanced transportation system that will give people more choices and better access to the places they want and need to go. We want to hear what you think of Shift the Balance! and need your help making sure Metro hears from the community as it develops the new RTP.

How to learn more about Shift the Balance?

1) Invite a member of our speaker’s bureau to your next meeting. We’ll send a speaker who can brief your group on Metro’s RTP Update, our Shift the Balance! vision and invite your members to give us feedback. We’ll compile all of the feedback we collect and share it with Metro to help shape the new RTP they are developing.

2) Publish an article about the project in your newsletter, website or listserve. We’ll provide you with a sample article and invite your readers to take our Shift the Balance! online survey.
