Survey open until Mon 8/14!
Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) is interested in hearing your thoughts on the Portland Bureau of Transportation’s (PBOT) budget and revenue priorities. As you may know, PBOT has been cutting its budget for years, and is facing additional cuts this year.
As PBOT considers what to cut, along with ways to bring in more money to better support the transportation system, the bureau would like to hear perspectives from people who are interacting with the system in different ways in their daily lives.
PBOT invites you to take an online survey (about 10-15 minutes) about PBOT’s work, budget, and revenue sources: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PBOTCommunityBudgetSurvey

The survey will close on Monday, Aug. 14.

Your feedback will be added to other input informing the development of budget and revenue strategies during this time of constrained resources. This work will continue into the fall (and beyond). Thank you for your participation!
