Members of AORTA are eligible to participate in decision making, planning, and voting; to join committees; and to help shape the organization's strategy.
Members are also invited to join our Slack group, and to attend members-only events.
- Who runs AORTA?
AORTA's board is elected by members. Our current board is listed here.
However our campaigns are driven first and foremost by ordinary members who decide what they want to devote their time toward.
- Why should I join AORTA?
AORTA is powered by its members, and achieving our vision depends on people like you!
There are no well-funded lobbyists advocating on behalf of transit in Oregon. Instead what we have is a well-organized group of passionate and informed people. By combining our voices in a strategic manner, we have a major impact on elected officials, transit agencies, and the public perception of transit.
