TL;DR (generated · confidence: high)

The Mobility & Safety Program aims to improve transportation safety, reduce congestion, and promote active transportation (walking, transit, bicycling) with a focus on historically underserved communities. Vision Zero is the primary safety initiative, using data-driven approaches to eliminate traffic fatalities. The 2026-27 proposed budget totals $24M, with significant funding from PDX Clean Energy Community Benefits ($9.7M). The program emphasizes equity through Safe Routes to Schools and applies a racial equity lens to project selection.

City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget The Mobility & Safety Program works to improve safety, reduce traffic congestion, and make Portland's transportation network more efficient by increasing walking, transit, car-sharing, bicycling, and other active means of travel. Program strategies increase access and improve public health and neighborhood livability for all Portlanders, with a special focus on historically underserved communities. Individual programs encourage and support active transportation (walking, transit, and bicycling), help manage demand on the transportation system (Smart Trips and Transportation Wallet), and work to eliminate traffic fatalities and make streets safer (Vision Zero). Vision Zero seeks to reduce transportation fatalities and serious injuries by supporting the implementation of comprehensive, system-wide, multimodal, data-driven, and proactive capital projects and programs that demonstrate the integration of safety into decision-making and project design. By utilizing a data-driven safety planning process, the program has been able to identify short- and long-term opportunities to address the safety performance of the local street network. The program develops spot specific improvements and full corridor redesign to support safer travel throughout Portland. Vision Zero addresses safety by reducing conflicts within and between transportation modes using a safe systems approach. Services Active Transportation Programming; Vision Zero; Bike Share Operations; Fixed Speed Safety Camera; Transportation Options - public transit (TriMet buses, MAX, Streetcar), shared mobility (BIKETOWN bikes, e-scooters, carshare), accessible services (LIFT, Ride Connection, PDX WAV for disabilities/seniors), Transportation Wallet Equity Impacts Safe Routes to Schools documents school-based input from families of color to inform program development and project prioritization. Title I schools are prioritized for services and capital investments. This has resulted in safer conditions for low income and communities of color. The Vision Zero Action Plan uses racial equity as a primary lens for program development and capital project selection. Investments are mapped against demographic data and are guided by Bureau of Transportation's Equity Matrix. Staff tracks the participation of culturally specific organizations. The safety team also is working with Police Bureau and community-based nonprofit organizations to develop more equitable traffic enforcement approaches. New Mobility programs are designed to address the needs of people of color, low-income residents, and people living in historically underserved areas. The Shared E-Scooter Pilot incorporates equitable outcome requirements into the permit, including accessibility, location in underserved communities, low-income pricing, and payment options for those without credit cards. Changes to Program Program offers reflect current service levels and therefore have no changes. 851
