What this proposal would actually do.
Plain-language orientation first. Every substantive statement below links to its official basis.
The reviewed sources do not clearly identify every existing policy, service, contract, or obligation that would remain unchanged.
Official matter recordThis proposal concerns transportation & public works and requires action through Portland’s public legislative process.
Official matter classification and recordThe Portland Bureau of Transportation regularly engages with community stakeholders, such as the Bureau and Budget Advisory Committee on budget, which are heavily influenced by fees. In addition, stakeholder advisory committees weigh in on Area Parking Permit surcharges as well as restricted event districts. Finally, the Bureau engages with the Development Review Advisory Committee (DRAC) on those development review fees that remain in PBOT’s portfolio. These discussions with stakeholders and permittees informed Transportation’s annual fee update process.FY 2025-26 fee amounts will be posted online in section TRN-3.450 of the Portland Public Policy documents and will be updated on Bureau of Transportation webpages and forms. The Portland Bureau of Transportation will notify permittees by mail or email as necessary regarding fee changes. The Portland Bureau of Transportation will continue to involve community and business groups and other interested parties in fee discussions.

The revenue from the fee adjustments is already included in the FY 2025-26 budget proposal for the Portland Bureau of Transportation. This Ordinance does not authorize additional spending or changes to staffing levels. If this legislation is not passed, the Bureau Transportation will not be able to effectively meet City goals and policies, manage the use of the right of way, or fund transportation services.
