Metro received a $464,180 Formula Grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under the Federal Transit Formula Grants program (CFDA 20.507) awarded on July 8, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2029. Metro is sub-allocating these funds to the City of Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) to deliver Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programming in conjunction with eight capital street improvement projects. The funding originated from six regional flexible fund allocations and will support community outreach, education, and engagement efforts designed to encourage residents in proximity to the projects to utilize new bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.

PBOT will execute community engagement activities throughout and after the construction phases of these capital projects, focusing on increasing local awareness and encouraging adoption of the improved active transportation facilities. The expected outcomes include increased use of active transportation modes and improved return on public investment.
