Enjoy: ConnectOregon Success Stories!
 ConnectOregon, created by the Oregon Legislature in 2005, uses Oregon Lottery-backed bond dollars to support investments in rail, aviation, marine, public transit, bicycle/ pedestrian and multimodal projects. Since its inception, ConnectOregon has put $427 million into these non-highway projects. We compiled a few success stories to give you an idea of the reach these investments are having across the state, such as the Tualatin River Greenway Trail, left.

We documented several ConnectOregon success stories on video. Hear from leaders who are operating safer facilities, companies that have added jobs and others who have benefited from these multimodal investments.
ConnectOregon: multiple benefits
The Pioneer Parkway Bus Rapid Transit program in the Eugene-Springfield area used a ConnectOregon grant to connect the region to a new hospital and the single largest cluster of hotels between Portland and San Francisco — a key part of the region’s tourism industry. The investment also improved connections for workers in the growing area, and by using bus rapid transit, the transit district reduced costs and environmental impacts, much like light rail but with lower investment.
