South Waterfront event will focus on sustainable transport

The folks that manage Portland’s innovative South Waterfront neighborhood have planned a special transportation fair that will focus on sustainable ways to get around.

Part of the event will be a panel discussion titled, Give Sustainable Transport the Green Light that will focus on getting around Portland without a car.

The panel will include representatives for the Bureau of Transportation and TriMet as well as staff from bike shop Clever Cycles, car-sharing program Zipcar, and a salesperson from SmartCar.
