Our Vision and Mission
Our vision
To make the Portland region the most livable in the country
Portland is frequently cited as one of the best places to live in the world, and we're here to help keep it that way. Through regional partnerships and effective transportation and land-use planning, we're working to preserve the things that make this place special, like our thriving downtown, our clean air, our walkable neighborhoods and our spirit of sustainability. With 1 million more people expected in the region by 2035, transit plays an essential role in maintaining our quality of life.
