The Willamette Pedestrian Coalition conducted an action plan to make it safer and easier for people to walk in the Willamette area. They did neighborhood case studies, reviewed transportation plans, surveyed residents, and interviewed local jurisdictions. Their action plan focuses on creating safe crossings and sidewalks, designing infrastructure for all abilities, calming traffic, prioritizing pedestrian connections, funding partnerships, recognizing equity issues, combining walking with transit, engaging communities, and ensuring traffic safety.

Editor's Notes
- Thank you for allowing us to speak today about the WPC’s recently released Getting Around on Foot Action, a study and report of pedestrian priorities for improvement throughout the metropolitan region.
- Our study methods included . . .
- Access to transportation options is crucial. The burdens and benefits of transportation must be shared equitably across communities, including geographic and cultural.
- Transit is an extension of the pedestrian network. Four out of five TriMet’s customers access transit on foot, and that means that improving walking access to transit is critical to increasing the quality of both the transit and pedestrian network.
- Focus on the red marks on this map; those are the ped crashes in Portland between 2000 and 2009.
