Last winter, Multnomah County and four cities in the area created the East Multnomah County Transportation Safety Action Plan.

It was created based on survey data the county gathered from East Multnomah County residents to identify problem hotspots for transportation safety in Gresham, Troutdale, Fairview and Wood Village.

Vince Jones-Dixon is the chair of the East Multnomah County Transportation Committee. We’ll check in with Jones-Dixon about the issues the county has identified and the steps that are being taken to improve traffic safety in the area.

“Think Out Loud®” broadcasts live at noon every day and rebroadcasts at 8 p.m.
