A City Club of Portland research committee has been looking at transportation governance in our region for the last year or so, and they are scheduled to release their report this Thursday, February 25 (look here on Thursday).

I had the privilege of helping brief the committee at the outset of their work on how transportation in the region is organized, and look forward to their thoughts on how it can be governed most effectively. As many of your know, transportation decision-making authority in the region is spread among many entities: the State (ODOT), region (Metro), TriMet and each County and City.

City Club will hold a program on March 3rd (5:30pm at the Club Offices at 901 SW Washington in Portland) and the membership will vote on the report at the March 5th Friday Forum.
