Good news! Oregon was awarded 100s of millions of $$$ today by the EPA for climate action that will drive down people's energy costs and help communities transition off fossil fuels. Solar, electric vehicle rebates and infrastructure, energy retrofits of homes & more!

You love to see it! 👏 This gift from the U.S. Department of Transportation brings TriMet one step closer to its goal of a zero-emission fleet by 2040. More electric busses on the road = a healthier, more equitable transportation system in Oregon 🚌 bit.ly/3W3dg94

Next is Safety & Social Equity with the @OregonDOT; learn more about this project at: trec.pdx.edu/research/projec…
ALT PSU partnered with ODOT to document sociodemographic factors associated with pedestrian injury risk. Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) experience a higher rate of pedestrian injury compared to the statewide average. The report concludes that incorporating social equity measures including race, disability, and income are important to understanding pedestrian injuries and the likely locations of these incidents.
