Who do you talk to when you have questions about speed limits, speed humps or parking policies? Why do density and design matter when you're trying to cut traffic? How can you best go about making sure public transportation projects meet the needs of all users as effectively as possible? Who can help me get a good project considered and funded? Who's paying for transportation projects and who's benefiting?

Neighborhood traffic, transportation options and how to get things done in your neighborhood and the larger community are the focus of the well-Traffic Calming is one of many subjects that will be studied.respected "Portland Traffic & Transportation" class. The Portland Office of Transportation and Portland State University have teamed for the last twelve years to present this ten-week university course.

Hundreds of Portland residents have taken this popular class and learned how to negotiate the various traffic and transportation agencies and issues. Here's your chance to hear about how you can make a difference in your neighborhood and city.

Speakers include policy and decision-makers, planners, and engineers from TriMet, Metro, and Portland's Office of Transportation - people who can make things happen. Commissioner Adams, Jason Tell (ODOT's regional administrator), and former Vancouver (BC) Councilor Gordon Price are among the speakers.
