Portland's 50-Year War on Cars: How Did It Get Here?

from Clark County Today News

Cascade Policy Institute's Naomi Inman introduces a month-long series examining Portland's half-century of anti-auto transportation planning, from road diets and BAT lanes to a goal of shifting 70 percent of Portlanders into shared vehicles. The series includes new research from adjunct scholar Randal O'Toole and a personal reflection from John Charles on the 40th anniversary of MAX light rail. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-portlands-war-on-cars-1-losing-the-war-on-the-automobile/ #Portland #Transportation #WarOnCars #CascadePolicyInstitute #LightRail #UrbanPlanning #PBOT #Opinion #PacificNorthwest #FreeMarket
