No More Freeways, a grassroots and community-funded 501c(3) organization, is raising money to be matched to total roughly $30,000 by the end of 2023, but they're a couple thousand short of their $15,000 goal! Please donate by midnight to help end freeway expansion in the Portland metro area! Oregon desperately needs a transportation revolution.

The #NYTimes continues to flex its #NoMoreFreeways muscle. Today an excellent piece on #InducedDemand.
Matt Turner, an economics professor at #BrownUniversity, said adding lanes is a fine solution if the goal is to get more #cars on the road. But most #highway expansion projects cite reducing #traffic as a primary goal.
“If you keep adding lanes because you want to reduce traffic congestion, you have to be really determined not to learn from history,” Dr. Turner said.
