 "Crazy bike lady" helps kids walk and roll safely

Fall back one hour - and be seen!
Oregon's Transportation Options program is helping vulnerable community members improve their visibility - especially important because this weekend, we fall back one hour and it will be darker earlier in the evening. At left, the Portland Bureau of Transportation handed out safety vests and sashes, donated by ODOT's TO program. Learn more about how we teamed up for good.

Mt. Angel’s streets, sidewalks getting better
Many Oregonians know and love Mt. Angel’s downtown – for the old German clock, the rowdy fun during Oktoberfest and the old-fashioned feel of this small, quaint community.

Angel secured funds through ODOT's Small City Allotment program, funding that was set aside as part of the historic 2017 transportation package, Keep Oregon Moving.
