| We Need Your Input! L&C Transportation and Parking Survey |
Only 30 percent of our community has completed the 2025 Transportation and Parking Survey—and we need to reach at least 75 percent participation to meet city requirements and help shape real improvements to how we get to, from, and around campus. This year, TriMet is facing budget shortfalls resulting in service cuts that may affect L&C. If you haven't already done so, please take the survey.

“‘Oregon is one of those states where, as soon as the polls close, it gets declared in favor of the Democratic candidate,’ said Tung Yin, a professor at Portland’s Lewis & Clark Law School who studies national security law. ‘We know that the president seems to care a lot about where he won votes and where he lost votes,’ Yin told CNN. ‘And he seems to be out for some kind of payback for the places that he didn’t do well in.’”
