The
Willamette Pedestrian Coalition is a non-profit community-based
membership organization in the greater Portland, Oregon area dedicated
to promoting walking and making the conditions for walking safe and
attractive.
We believe
that:
- walking
must be safe,
- walking
should get you there,
- walking
is transportation which builds better communities,
- walkable
communities require careful design,
- streets
shared by pedestrians and others are the best streets, and
- everyone
who leaves home is a pedestrian, whether in a wheelchair,
stroller, or on foot, even getting to a motor vehicle or mass transit.
Therefore,
we advocate
for better laws, enhanced enforcement, more sidewalks and
signed crosswalks, education programs, community improvements designed
for pedestrians, and increased funding to support these activities.
