This fall, Westside Transportation Alliance and our Get There partners are bringing three exciting opportunities to help people rethink their daily commute and try new ways to get around. Check out the individual campaigns and get ready to take part!

Westside Transportation Alliance is celebrating #TDMWeek 2026! One size doesn't fit all when it comes to getting where you're going. That's the power of transportation options! September 14-18 is #TDMWeek, and we're celebrating the many ways that TDM puts choices back in our communities' hands.

Starting September 11, 2026, all lanes of I-5 southbound will be closed through the Rose Quarter between I-405 and I-84 around the clock for up to 5 weeks. One lane will remain open from I-405 to the Broadway exit at the Moda Center. Closures are expected to cause the worst traffic in the region's history. PBOT is encouraging travelers and commuters to change their habits and plans to accommodate for increased travel times and congestion.

Long, expensive commutes can reduce job satisfaction, contribute to employee turnover, and make it harder to attract talent. Employers can help their workforce access a more affordable and sustainable commute through Oregon’s new Get There by Vanpool program.
