Oregon Active Transportation Summit

Did you know Oregon’s SRTS program has had the highest share of schools participating in Walk+Roll events in the nation for two years running? And that last year over 40 travel options challenges or points programs were hosted through ODOT's Get There Connect, contributing to over 1,803,236 vehicle miles reduced through the platform.

Encouragement events like these are one of the core elements in a SRTS practitioner's toolbox to help a school community comfortably and successfully start walking and rolling. ODOT’s Safe Routes to School and Transportation Options programs educate, encourage, and support Oregonians in using active and shared transportation every day. Hear from staff on both programs in this session, which highlights the role of events and incentives in successfully encouraging people to try using shared and active transportation to travel to school (and work!).

Additionally, the session will highlight opportunities for SRTS and Transportation Options programs to learn from each other's strategies to encourage mode shift as well as opportunities to collaborate for events and challenges. Hear from members of the Oregon Safe Routes to School team and the ODOT Transportation Options team about their lessons learned from successful strategies for supporting participation in Walk+Roll events and Challenges around the state.
