Impact
Our 30 year legacy of success in advocacy and education
The past year has been pivotal for The Street Trust, full of the achievements you see reflected in our latest impact report. Powered by generous supporters and partners like you, our work towards safe, complete streets is helping transform lives and transportation systems. However, the past ten years have seen Oregon’s traffic fatalities increase by a staggering 88 percent. Pedestrian deaths continue to rise, disproportionately harming BIPOC, low-income, and unhoused Oregonians. In the year ahead, we are determined to continue making safe, complete streets the top priority for Oregon. Read more about our impact here.
The Street Trust is the only organization building advocacy power among street users of all modes from across the region, bringing together unlikely partnerships to break the political gridlock and save lives. We maintain low overhead, pay livable wages, and get the most out our limited budget.
