The City of Portland’s Office of Transportation, in partnership with PSU, offers a Traffic and Transportation class.  Students learn about traffic and transportation alongside neighborhood activists who want to see change happen in their neighborhoods.  The partnership results in real-life learning for the students and a free education on how to better neighborhoods for the activists.  They offer a limited (but generous) number of scholarships to neighborhood activists.  This annual class will be offered this fall term.

FROM THE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Calling all neighborhood activists – Learn how the city that works, works! And how you can affect change in your community.

The Portland Traffic and Transportation Class offers Portlanders the opportunity to learn about the city’s transportation system while working on actual neighborhood projects that affect your community.  Work with decision and policy-makers, planners, scholars and engineers to get your neighborhood transportation project moving.

This interactive Portland State University class is open to all Portland citizens and full scholarships are available to qualified applicants. Learn more on the website.
