What Does the Committee Do?

Our urban environment experiences a significant amount of development, planning work, initiatives, and activity, making it challenging for individuals to stay informed and weigh in on the changes. The Land Use and Transportation Committee provides a forum for sharing information, discussing, and evaluating land use and transportation plans, policies, and other matters that affect the neighborhoods in District 3.

Staff from the City of Portland, Metro, TriMet, and other organizations regularly speak on a variety of current land use/transportation topics. Presentations are encouraged and welcomed from community groups and individuals. Please reach out to reserve time on a future meeting agenda. The committee also provides an excellent opportunity for community members to collaborate around shared land use or transportation concerns within and across neighborhoods in District 3.

As an advisory committee to the SE Uplift Board, the Land Use and Transportation Committee may issue recommendations for significant land use or transportation issues that affect District 3. Each neighborhood association and community organization in attendance designates a representative in advance to make recommendations. Additionally, participants may represent SE Uplift on Community Advisory Groups and other working groups to ensure that the concerns of neighbors are considered and addressed in the development of public policy, capital projects, and planning efforts.

Who Can Attend?

Our forum is open to all community members who are interested in attending and participating in discussions about pending land use and transportation policy, initiatives, community actions, ideas, initiatives, and more. We only ask that participants follow our community agreements, which are centered around respectful behavior and share information back with their respective groups.

We welcome agenda topic requests and we encourage active participation in discussions. Please refer to our advocacy request page for information on securing support from the SE Uplift coalition and requesting time on the agenda.

Reach out to the Neighborhood Planner to discuss community advocacy options related to land use or transportation.

What is the Charter?

The Charter outlines the purpose, principles, and authority of this committee, along with the role of participants and its relationship to other groups. We invite you to review the committee charter.
