Show Notes
Oregons Department of Transportation faces a significant budget shortfall, leading to proposed cuts including a seventeen million dollar reduction to the Safe Routes to School program. This move, part of an amendment to Senate Bill sixteen oh one, has sparked outrage from active transportation groups and some Democrats. The bill is set for a Senate floor vote today, as leaders aim to protect their fall election chances. The situation is a result of a gas tax increase passed last summer, which Republicans fought against and are now seeking to repeal.
