Beyond the noise, here's what's actually in the 2025 transportation package

(Photo: Jonathan Maus/BikePortland) As Democrats in Salem scramble to pick up the pieces of the transportation bill in the final few days of the legislative session, I feel like it’s worth looking more closely at what’s in the bill they’re trying to pass. With headlines devoted to the drama of the process and Republican opposition, some folks might forget what’s at stake with the actual policy that hangs in the balance. But first, let’s recap wh…Salem, Oregon · SalemRead Article

E-bike rebate and path funding return to transportation bill with luxury car tax

(Photo: Jonathan Maus/BikePortland) One glaring omission from the transportation bill that was released last week was language that would create an electric bike rebate program. When I spoke to House Representative Mark Gamba (D-Milwaukie) in April, he assured me the rebate policy he crafted in House Bill 2963 would be folded into the larger bill. But when HB 2025 came out, it was nowhere to be found. Now the e-bike has returned to the bill in a…Milwaukie · MilwaukieRead Article
