Portland Bureau of Transportation Public Works Service Area Bureau Summary Bureau Summary Bureau Mission The Portland Bureau of Transportation is a community partner in shaping a livable city. Bureau of Transportation plans, builds, manages, and maintains an effective and safe transportation system that provides people and businesses access and mobility. Bureau of Transportation keeps Portland moving. Bureau Overview The bureau’s job is to connect people to the places they want to go. PBOT’s system of roads, sidewalks, bike lanes, transit, and trails get Portlanders from place to place easily, safely, and sustainably. Portland’s efficient, safe, and sustainable transportation system serves as a foundation for the high quality of life Portlanders enjoy. PBOT manages a $19 billion transportation system with many elements. Some, like the Streetcar and roads, are large-scale pieces of infrastructure valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Others, like streets signs or sidewalk corners, support a mobile and connected city in smaller, but no less vital, ways. The number and variety of the assets in PBOT’s portfolio explain the wide-ranging and multifaceted nature of our work. The bureau is proud to contribute to our city’s high quality of life by maintaining and operating these assets well. Executive Leadership  Millicent D.

Portland Bureau of Transportation Public Works Service Area Maintenance Responsible for environmental systems, logistics, maintenance construction, Operations: operations, and street systems. Chief Financial Responsible for budget and financial management, data governance and analytics, Officer: financial controls, technology services, administrative services, emergency management, environmental policies, employee services and safety, and facilities management. Chief of Staff: Responsible for asset management, equity, community engagement, communications, coordination with council, leadership and other bureaus, and policies, resources, and partnerships. RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS Focused on dangerous streets. Conducted 200+ traffic safety investigations requested by the community. Completed traffic design and safety analysis for projects on high-crash corridors including 82nd, 122nd, 148th, and 162nd avenues, César E Chávez Boulevard, and Southeast Division and Stark streets. Boosted our core asset work. Filled 1,800 potholes as part of “March Madness” campaign and replaced 20,000 street signs east of 82nd and south of Burnside as part of large bureau push. Secured critical funding for major capital projects. Won $95 million in federal funds for projects including a bridge replacement, safety improvements along high crash corridors, and installation of public electric-vehicle charging stations. Won overwhelming voter support for funding PBOT work. In May 2024, voters renewed the 10-cent local gas tax, known as Fixing Our Streets, with 72% support. Through Fixing Our Streets, PBOT has repaved 80 lane miles of streets, repaired 40,000 potholes, and completed hundreds of safety improvements citywide. Led city, regional emergency response. PBOT leads the City’s response to snow, ice, wind, and flood emergencies. Due to five days of ice, snow, and windstorms in January 2024, PBOT continued in 24/7 operations for 11 days to keep Portland moving. This included plowing and de-icing our primary snow and ice routes (1,749 lane miles) and closing roads so partners could clear debris and restore power. CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES Increasingly limited resources: Declining buying power from gas tax and parking revenue, skyrocketing construction costs, and new Citywide priorities have meant severe budget challenges the last five years. These systemic problems will only worsen with the rise in fuel efficient and electric vehicles, as well as achievements in the City’s multimodal goals. Structural changes to how we fund transportation will be necessary to provide a better maintained, safer and more efficient transportation system for all. City of Portland, Oregon - FY 2025-26 Requested Budget 47

Portland Bureau of Transportation Public Works Service Area Assets in poor shape: Assets worth a total replacement value of more than $21 billion have an annual funding gap of more than $600 million to keep them in good condition. Due to years of underinvestment, many assets are now in poor or very poor condition, requiring much costlier fixes than regular preventative maintenance. Increased investment is necessary to improve these conditions and lower long-term costs. Traffic deaths and serious injuries: From 2021- 2023, nearly 200 people died from traffic violence in Portland. Safety fixes on the most dangerous streets and intersections are still unfunded. Investment and collaboration more across bureaus is necessary to address traffic violence. Livability challenges in the right-of-way: More extreme weather and an increasing amount of trash and graffiti impacts our assets and requires more resources. Investments and collaborations across bureaus will help to meet public expectations. Known Opportunities and Challenges The bureau’s $6 billion major maintenance backlog continues to increase. ADA curb ramp program costs continue to increase. Current shortfall is $95 million over the next six years. Facilities for employees and equipment require major upgrades. Discussions about a state transportation funding package present an opportunity to stabilize one leg of the three-leg transportation funding stool (local, state, federal) Five-Year Priorities Ensuring that people and goods can safely and efficiently get where they need to go through a variety of travel modes.? Identifying new or enhanced revenue sources to mitigate the loss of services and employees that will be necessary from a $38 million shortfall in discretionary funds plus other potential fund loses. Begin to address the $6 billion asset maintenance backlog. Long-Term Financial Outlook The five-year forecast requires significant reductions or new revenue sources to balance a $38 million ongoing General Transportation Revenue shortfall due to rising costs and lower revenue projections. State Highway Fund revenues are stagnant and not keeping up with inflation while parking revenues remain volatile and subject to the health of the downtown core. Fixing Our Streets and Portland Clean Energy Fund revenues, which were used to mitigate ongoing program reductions set to start in FY 2024-25, are only guaranteed for four and five years, respectively. Our top priority moving forward is to find new funding that is ongoing, reliable, and increases with inflationary pressures. 48 City of Portland, Oregon - FY 2025-26 Requested Budget
