Portland’s Neighborhood Greenways offer a scenic, relaxing bike route
|
|
Each summer, the Portland Bureau of Transportation undertakes a massive effort to count just how many bikes ride through Portland streets every day.
Portlanders bike all sorts of places in all sorts of ways: on the commute to work, in a Bike Train to school, along the Neighborhood Greenway, in the bike lane…and we count them all.

|
But “we” is actually “you.”
|
|
The only way this count can be successful is through dozens of dedicated volunteers like yourself.

The Count
To volunteer, you must first attend a brief one-hour training. After that, your commitment can be as little as 2 hours at one location. Most counts are done from 4 to 6pm (with some 7-9am morning counts), and can be done mid-week (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday) anytime between June and September.
Some volunteers count one location, some count more than a dozen; some count the same locations every year, while others like to mix it up. Each location is only counted once a year, but there are 225 count locations across Portland to choose from. We’re confident we can find the right place for you!

The Training
Wednesday, June 5, 6-7pm
The Portland Building, 1120 SW 5th Ave
2nd floor, Room C
This one-hour training will teach you everything you need to know to patricipate in the bike count. All new volunteers must attend a training, and old volunteers are welcome to come for a refresher course…and pizza. There will be maps of the count locations and sign-up sheets available.
(and let us know if you like meaty or veggie pizza)
Can’t make it June 5? E-mail us and let us know you’re interested. Alternate trainings will be scheduled as necessary throughout June and July (pizza not guaranteed).
