A S.A.F.E.R. Bridge for Stronger Communities
Protect our climate, connect our communities, and create good union jobs for generations to come with bold investments in public transit and bike/walk solutions from Portland and Vancouver.
We need an earthquake-safe bridge, but Oregon can’t risk a sprawling boondoggle that will increase air pollution and drive up costs for working commuters.
We need the I-5 Bridge: Right Size, Right Now.
What is a S.A.F.E.R. Bridge?
Size Matters
We must replace the bridge within the existing I-5 footprint. We can make space for everyone to cross the bridge safely WITHOUT expanding into existing communities or spending beyond our means.
Accountability
The IBR project must have independent oversight to ensure costs are contained and the project is completed on schedule. Tolling plans must be transparent and fair, not a blank check for future freeway expansion.
Fund Transit & Safe Bike, Walk, and Roll
Active and public transportation that is safe, fast, easy, and affordable for everyone must be front and center in design plans and funding priorities.
Environmental Justice
This rebuild must support the principles of Environmental Justice, including centering air pollution reductions.
Resilient to Earthquakes
We must create good union jobs building a world class seismic solution, secure federal funds that are available now under the American Infrastructure and Jobs Act, and build a safe crossing for generations to come.
