Oregon Active Transportation Summit

Location: PSU Montgomery Plaza, 601-699 SW Montgomery St, Portland, OR 97201
This interactive session, hosted by the Oregon Micromobility Network (OMN) and Forth, will give attendees hands‑on exposure to a range of micromobility device form factors, helping build familiarity, comfort, and confidence. Participants will be able to see, touch, and test‑ride devices in a supportive, low‑pressure environment.

OMN will discuss how the various device types fall into existing regulatory frameworks in Oregon, and where we have gaps in our code we are working to fill. Forth will provide an overview of how to conduct community education and first-time rider engagement. This includes introducing participants to e-bike basics such as charging, storage, helmet fit, and safe riding practices, as well as demonstrating how we structure introductory riding opportunities in a safe and welcoming environment.

The session is designed for advocates, educators, planners, and partners who want first-hand experience with a range of devices, and practical tools for engaging communities and supporting safe, equitable micromobility adoption.
