SE Uplift Land Use & Transportation Committee

When Do We Meet?

The SE Uplift Land Use & Transportation Committee (LUTC) strives to cover relevant and essential land use and transportation topics through monthly meetings, scheduled for 7 pm on the third Monday of each month. In the event of a federal holiday falling on a Monday, the committee will determine the next meeting. We make the meeting agenda available in advance. To receive the latest news and announcements, sign up for our Land Use & Transportation Bulletin newsletter. The committee meetings may be canceled or rescheduled on certain months due to special circumstances such as holidays, please check our committee meeting schedule for updates.

What Does the Committee Do?

Our urban environment is experiencing 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 vital forum for sharing information, discussing, and evaluating land use and transportation plans, policies, and other matters that affect neighborhoods in District 3. We regularly invite staff from the City of Portland, Metro, TriMet, and other organizations to speak on a variety of current land use/transportation issues.

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. For more information on the content we cover, please review our monthly agendas and Land Use & Transportation Bulletin newsletter.

The committee provides recommendations to the SE Uplift Board, expressing support for or opposition to significant land use or transportation issues that affect our coalition area. Each neighborhood association and community organization in attendance designates a representative in advance to make these 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 and capital projects.

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, and more. We only ask that participants follow our meeting rules of conduct, which are centered around respectful behavior.

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. Reach out to the Neighborhood Planner to discuss 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 charter for the committee.
