WEIGH IN ON IMPORTANT REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDING



Every two years the Metro Regional Government allocates flexible federal transportation funds for Portland metro region. This year's MTIP (Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program) is now in full swing. The Bicycle Transportation Alliance is working to ensure funding for bike, pedestrian, and other projects that help create a transportation system that supports a wide range of transportation options.



WE NEED YOU to help ensure that bike and pedestrian projects are fully funded in this round of the MTIP.
