82nd avenue coalition organizing: oregon walks advocates for communities that are safe, convenient, and attractive for walking. Most often, this requires significant and expensive infrastructure investments that are needed across oregon. Oregon walks works with local, regional, state, and federal elected officials to direct funding into more pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Additionally, oregon walks advocates for policy changes that create better environments for walking, such as increased funding for transit and pedestrian infrastructure, parking reform to increase visibility at intersections, and policies that result in slower vehicular speeds.
