Please feel free to pass this along to anyone who you think might be
interested!

Transportation Options Ambassadors Program is a limited opportunity for
volunteers to get hands-on experience with Transportation Options' staff to
reach out to Portland residents through walks, bike rides, tabling community
events, helmet fittings and more. Ambassadors get an inside look at how the
best bicycling and one of the best walking cities in North America gets that
way.

Ambassadors represent the Office of Transportation and present information
to encourage pedestrians, cyclists, drivers and transit riders to travel
safely together - share the road. Other activities include bicycle helmet
giveaways, bike counts and transportation fairs. Ambassadors would be
expected to commit to at least two events throughout the spring, summer and
fall of 2006.

Selected Ambassador applicants receive a 3-hour training at the
Transportation Options Ambassador Academy on the information and skills
necessary to talk with the public at outreach events about all
transportation options. Additionally, Ambassadors get an official City of
Portland Office of Transportation T-shirt, an Ambassador Academy
Certificate, a variety of walking, biking and transit incentives throughout
the summer, and an opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills.

To apply for the Transportation Options Ambassador Academy, or for more
information, visit our website at www.GettingAroundPortland.org and click
