<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Public Health Partners – <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I previously shared about the Public Health Division’s involvement in the update of Oregon’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. This is the key policy framework for Oregon, to promote walkable and bikable communities – and it’s getting its first
comprehensive update in 20 years! I hope some of you were able/will be able to make it to the listening sessions.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:red">For those who did not or cannot attend a session, there is an online option to learn more and an interactive way to share your local perspective – it’s quick and easy. See link in red below to do so.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:red">Thank you!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:22.5pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">The Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan is the policy plan for biking and walking modes for the whole state. It is a mode plan that becomes part of the
Oregon Transportation Plan when the Oregon Transportation Commission adopts it. It is very important that the Plan reflects all of Oregon and helps inform all of Oregon’s local transportation plans. Oregonians are invited to be involved in the Bike-Ped Plan
development through this website and events listed here.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black"> </span></span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black"><br>

<p style="margin-bottom:15.0pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">The Oregon Department of Transportation is hosting a series of Listening Meeting Workshops to hear from you on key policy issues that relate to walking
and biking in Oregon. At the workshops, we will ask specific questions related to critical destinations, connectivity, and safety that will help inform policy development for the Oregon Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (OBPP). The workshop will include an introductory
presentation of the OBPP, highlight opportunities and challenges learned to date, and then break into table discussions. Please plan to attend the full workshop.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black"> </span></span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black"><br>
