[edit] Positions
[edit] On bikesharing
In August 2011, Upstream Public Health partnered with the Willamette Pedestrian Coalition to opppose the City of Portland's proposal to use Regional Flexible Funds to kickstart a bikesharing plan. The two organizations withdrew their opposition after the city pledged to hold a "community engagement process" to find ways its bikesharing plan could be tweaked to benefit "underserved communities," as required by Metro.
