We typically submit a letter addressing budgetary issues and priorities as part of the Bureau’s budget submission. This year the City implemented a new budget process that encourages stronger accountability by linking resources to program goals and performance metrics. PBOT staff have endeavored to provide BBAC with the most up to date information regarding the budget and BBAC members applaud the new approach. Unfortunately, as of our last meeting on January 17th, the information the BBAC needs to evaluate PBOT’s 2019 - 20 budget request was not yet available. After we have received and reviewed the necessary information thoroughly, we will send a letter with our recommendations. For future budget cycles, we strongly urge the City and PBOT to provide sufficient time for meaningful public input, consistent with the City's goals for equity and accountability. BBAC believes in transportation for everyone. We evaluate the budget with a keen interest in how it plans for equity, safety, labor, and the ever-growing need to combat climate change. We look forward to the opportunity to address our concerns in future letters.

We plan, build, manage and maintain an effective and safe transportation system that provides access and mobility. Bureau Overview Our job is to connect people to the places they want to go. Our system of roads, sidewalks, bike lanes, transit and trails gets Portlanders from place to place easily, safely and sustainably. Portland’s efficient, safe and sustainable transportation system serves as a foundation for the high quality of life Portlanders enjoy. We manage a $12.2 billion transportation system with many elements. Some, like our streetcar and roads, are large-scale pieces of infrastructure valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Others like our streets signs or sidewalk corners support a mobile and connected city in smaller, but no less vital ways. The number and variety of the assets in PBOT’s portfolio explain the wide-ranging and multifaceted nature of our work. The bureau is proud to contribute to our city’s high-quality of life by maintaining and operating these assets well. PBOT employs over 950 people, and is organized into the following groups: Office of the Director Policy, Planning, and Projects Parking Services Engineering Services Maintenance Operations Development Permitting and Transit Business Services The bureau’s budget is organized around seven budget programs: Administration and Support Services, Operations & Maintenance, Parking, Planning & Engineering, Regulatory & Permitting, Mobility and Infrastructure Improvements. There is not a one-to-one correlation between groups and budget programs as some organizational units support more than one program area. Strategic Direction Goals and Objectives In recent years, the pace of change in transportation has accelerated rapidly. In just the last five years, Portland has introduced a new public transit system (BIKETOWN); experienced the introduction and rapid growth of a new transportation industry (Transportation network companies); piloted a new transportation technology (e-scooters); and put in the policy framework to test and potentially adopt autonomous vehicles (Smart Autonomous Vehicle Initiative). These are just some of the fundamental changes in how Portlanders travel around their city, and there is no sign that the pace of change is slowing. City of Portland, Oregon – FY 2019-20 R equested B udget 3 Page 10 Por tland B ur eau of T r anspor tation To manage change in such a rapidly evolving environment demands smart and strategic planning. For this reason, PBOT undertook a fundamental shift in how we planned for the future. We launched this new era in strategic planning in 2015 with the launch of Portland Progress. This ambitious two-year strategic work plan laid out the specific and measurable steps our agency would take to improve transportation in our city. We followed this with Portland Progress II in 2017, a plan that built on and extended the vision of the first Portland Progress. Now we are launching, Moving to the Future, the third iteration of our modern strategic vision for Portland’s transportation system. Like the first two plans, Moving to the Future presents the steps we will take to harness the transformation of transportation to deliver well-maintained streets, help ease congestion and keep safety front and center in all that we do. Moving to the Future aligns the work of PBOT’s seven work groups to achieve three main goals that we will focus on in the next three years: 1. Working for a safe and accessible Portland 2. Building, preserving and repairing Portland’s streets 3. Creating solutions for our growing city. Each goal contains specific objectives and initiatives. The objectives are the actions we will take to achieve our overarching goals. The initiatives are the tools we will use along the way. Importantly, we have defined our objectives in a way that can be measured. This is an important accountability control built into this plan. Defining measurable objectives also allows us to assess whether we chose the right initiatives to achieve our goals. Together the goals, objectives and initiatives provide the guidance bureau managers need to determine the overall direction of the work they oversee. Key Performance PBOT’s FY 2019-20 Requested Budget includes the following Key Performance Measures Measures: Portland streets are safe for all users, regardless of how they travel, measured as reducing traffic fatalities. The City’s Vision Zero Task Force has a goal of eliminating traffic related fatalities across all modes by 2025. The City’s 2035 Comprehensive Plan also has a goal of eliminating traffic related fatalities from Portland’s transportation system.
