Oregon Walks is dedicated to promoting walking and making the conditions for walking safe, convenient and attractive throughout the Portland metropolitan region. 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. * Everyone who leaves home is a pedestrian, whether in a wheelchair, stroller, or on foot, even getting to a motor vehicle or mass transit.
