Grant Overview

Portland, Oregon faces significant barriers to promoting cycling as a means to improve community health. With a high percentage of commuters already cycling, the city must address remaining barriers, including inadequate cycling infrastructure and safety concerns. In Oregon, 15% of commuters cycle to work, compared to 5% nationally. However, cycling infrastructure remains limited, with 30% of cyclists reporting safety concerns. The grant funding prioritizes projects that create a supportive environment for cycling, ultimately fostering a culture of cycling and improving community health. Who Faces Barriers in Oregon? Cyclists and potential cyclists in Oregon face significant barriers, including inadequate infrastructure and safety concerns. Oregon's Department of Transportation requires applicants to demonstrate a clear understanding of these barriers and a plan to address them. Successful applicants in Oregon have included organizations like the Oregon Cycling Association, which has implemented numerous cycling safety programs. How Funding Addresses Barriers in Oregon: The grant funding will support projects that address the barriers faced by cyclists in Oregon. By creating a supportive environment for cycling, the grant funding will ultimately foster a culture of cycling, improving community health and reducing traffic congestion. With 25% of Oregon's population living in areas with high levels of air pollution, promoting cycling is critical for public health. Oregon's Cycling Landscape: The state's cycling landscape is characterized by a strong cycling culture and a growing demand for cycling infrastructure. The grant funding will support projects that align with this approach, ultimately enhancing the state's cycling outcomes. Unlike neighboring Washington, Oregon's grant applications require a stronger emphasis on cycling safety. Oregon's Infrastructure and Cycling: The state's infrastructure plays a critical role in supporting cycling. With a growing network of bike lanes and expanding cycling infrastructure, Oregon is well-positioned to promote cycling. The grant funding will support projects that leverage this infrastructure to improve cycling outcomes. Oregon's major cities, including Portland, rely on a safe and efficient transportation network. By investing in cycling infrastructure, Oregon can create a more livable and sustainable environment.
