The City of Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) understands that in order to make bicycling more attractive — and to reach its goal of 25% bike mode share by 2030 — riding a bike must compete better with driving a car. Put another way, bicycling must be seen by a larger number of people as being a convenient option. Beyond building bike-friendly infrastructure, there are other ways to accomplish this sense of convenience. One way to make bicycle travel more efficient is by building a system that causes fewer delays for bicycle traffic.
