The Street Trust

Mission

The Street Trust advocates for multimodal transportation options that prioritize safety, accessibility, equity, and climate justice for people and communities across Oregon. We are working towards a complete, safe, low-carbon transportation system that builds equity in access, health, and prosperity for all.

Bottom Line for Portland

In 2023, 69 people were killed in traffic crashes in Portland, the highest death toll in at least three decades. Our streets are in crisis, disproportionately harming BIPOC, low-income, and unhoused Oregonians. Through community safety, education and advocacy at every level, The Street Trust is working to help end traffic violence, solve the transportation funding crisis, and build safer streets for everyone. Join us!

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We are a community-driven organization committed to diversity, equity and inclusion as an integral part of building safe streets for all Oregonians. We recognize that unjust systems and policies of exclusion and discrimination continue to shape our transportation systems today — and that we must actively participate in dismantling institutional, interpersonal, and internalized barriers to full participation in society for all communities.
