A Passenger Ferry service in Portland?
Audacious.
About time.
Absolutely feasible.

MISSION

Create a safe and sustainable river-friendly public passenger ferry service to better connect people to their river and one another and help build community livability.

OBJECTIVE

• Reduce congestion
• Enhance resiliency Planning and Safety
• Provide Equity and Community Livability
• Contribute to cleaner air and water
• Promote Economic Vitality

We are a grassroots effort of more than 1,500 supporters and stakeholders, and 150+ pro bono industry experts who are volunteering across nine teams. We understand the need to look through the lens of transparency, equity, efficient use of public funding, and access to more transit options. To date we have provided more than $4 million in value at no taxpayer expense, and funds raised will help fund critical feasibility studies that are needed to leverage local and federal transit agency support.

Ferries are reliable and affordable in comparison with other modes of transit, and they require no expensive construction of roads or rails. As a bonus, they make traveling relaxing and enjoyable.

It’s time for us to consider a reliable, approachable, affordable and enjoyable new way to move around the region.
