Oregon Candidates On Active Transportation Issues

by JayinPortland

The Bicycle Transportation Alliance has released candidate responses to their four question survey on active transportation issues in Oregon.

The questions asked of candidates for Governor (guess who didn't respond!), US Senate, US House and numerous state and local races were -

  1. What programs and other public policy initiatives do you support for making Oregon communities more accessible for pedestrians and bicyclists?
  1. What programs and other public policy initiatives do you support for improving the safety of road users, particularly vulnerable users (e.g., better education for road users, increased penalties for unsafe vehicle operation, other statutory modifications)?
  1. What programs or other public policy initiatives do you support to ENCOURAGE the use of bicycles for transportation?
  1. Please list the active transportation projects, if any, in your district for which you have provided assistance or support?

Let's take a look at some of the more interesting (and fun!) responses...
