Every year, traffic crashes kill dozens of individuals and devastate families, friends, loved ones, and neighbors in our community. We mourn those whose lives were cut short. Traffic deaths are unacceptable. We can and must do better.

🥕FULL restoration of SNAP benefits is good news for nearly 760K Oregonians, including 143K in Multnomah County alone. Full Nov. benefits are here, and they won’t be taken away.

🛒 Check your EBT balance before shopping. If you think there’s an error, contact the Oregon Dept. of Human Services.

Our FX service is expected to begin on 82nd Avenue in 2029. The new bus service will speed up trips, provide more reliability and make it easier for people to get to jobs, schools and other destinations along the corridor.

Slow down, lights on!

Last year, 83% of traffic deaths occurred from dusk to dawn. The rain decreases visibility even more. As we head into the darkest and rainiest months of the year, make sure to drive with your lights on and slow down!

The rain is here Portland, and it's the perfect time to brush up on your winter biking skills! Join PBOT's Portland By Cycle team for an All Season Cycling workshop this Friday, Nov. 7 from 3 - 5 p.m. at Woodstock Library.

Dropping ballots off today? @biketownpdx.bsky.social and Lime are both offering discounted rides to make it easier to get there. Don't forget your helmets!
Use the code BIKETOVOTE25 for free unlocks!

Use VOTE2025 for two 30-minute rides on Lime e-scooters.

Both are valid now through election day.

Don't forget your helmet, especially when riding e-scooters. It's state law to wear a helmet when riding an e-scooter!

Today's dry sunny weather is great weather for clearing a storm drain ahead of the next storm heading our way.

Portland’s storm drains, also known as catch basins, help with stormwater runoff and prevent flooding.

📣 As community members feel the impacts of the federal shutdown and reduced funding for SNAP food benefits, you might be wondering how you can help. Monetary donations to food banks, pantries and community-based organizations are recommended and go a long way: multco.us/food
