Please join us for the first-ever Central Oregon Safe Travel Summit. This virtual Summit will address one of Central Oregon’s most pressing problems – transportation safety.

In 2020, despite a deep reduction in highway travel in Central Oregon, serious crashes increased sharply. 31 people lost their lives in Deschutes County alone—the most in 10 years. Bend and Deschutes County are partnering with Oregon Department of Transportation and the Bend Metropolitan Planning Organization to explore what can be done.

Please take the Central Oregon Safe Travel Survey before September 30, 2021.
