Mission Statement
The Street Trust advocates for multimodal transportation options that prioritize safety, accessibility, equity, and climate justice in the Portland Metro Region. We envision a complete, safe, low-carbon, multimodal transportation system that contributes to equity in access, opportunity, health, and prosperity for people and communities across the Portland Metro Region and beyond. Since 1992, The Street Trust (formerly the Bicycle Transportation Alliance) has worked in partnership with residents, businesses, community groups, government agencies, and elected officials to create communities where people can meet their daily transportation needs through an equitable, complete, multimodal system. The Street Trust works hard to advance policies and investments in our streets to improve the air we breathe, keep families safer, support outdoor activity, reduce carbon emissions, and help connect people to jobs and critical services.
About This Cause
Street users across the Portland Metro region have to sprint, dodge, and adapt to survive in our poorly designed neighborhoods and inadequate transportation system. Whether we’re on a bike stuck in car traffic, walking on an unlit and incomplete sidewalk, or catching transit when we’re late for work, the burden is on us to avoid getting hurt, left behind, or missing out on opportunities. The Street Trust is a membership advocacy organization representing street users from across Greater Portland. We work at the literal intersections of an ongoing transportation crisis. Every day, our unsafe and incomplete public streets threaten our lives and livelihoods. We are driven by a passion for complete streets, rooted in the belief we can stop preventable death resulting from inequality, lax safety, and climate change. We advocate to ensure voters and policy makers see the universal benefits when we prioritize transportation safety, accessibility, equity, and climate. We educate decision-makers in the comprehensive solutions for the people who use our streets, in support of our members, our partners, and everyone who travels in and through Greater Portland. We refuse to settle for a 20th-century transportation system that worsens disparities and sacrifices our future. We are ready to win policy transformation and major investments that save lives, reduce barriers, and expand opportunities to the people and neighborhoods our current system neglects. To win, we need you in our lane. Together we can end the public health emergency of traffic deaths through policy change and public investments that make our region more livable, equitable, and healthy. It’s time to reclaim our streets, and our future. The Street Trust is at work in classrooms, in meeting rooms, and in the streets, encouraging and advocating for a safe, accessible mix of transportation. Your support helps us make our region thrive while saving lives.
