Metro has launched a survey to learn more about how Portlanders get around without a car.
The survey is part of a multi-year effort to create a Regional Active Transportation Plan (ATP), a first for Metro. The survey went out to the nearly 6,500 people who have signed up for Metro's Opt In Panel.
The manager of Metro's active transportation efforts, Lake McTighe, says the survey is the first step in "gaining some background that will help inform the planning process."
