Investments in Public Transit Benefit Everyone
Transit services benefit every community across Oregon by relieving congestion within urban centers, serving our senior, low income and vulnerable populations, providing critical paratransit and veteran trips in rural Oregon, and providing safe evacuations during disasters or extreme weather events.
As is the case for other types of transportation, inflation is drastically increasing the cost of providing transit service. Increases in vehicle and fuel costs, preventative maintenance, cost of equipment and ensuring safety are all contributing to this trend. Without an influx of additional resources, many districts may not be able to maintain services that were initiated from House Bill 2017 transit investments.
