City of Portland Transition Team

The overall goal of the project was to support the City’s Transition Team as Portland prepares to shift to a new form of government. Portland voters elected to change the city charter, ushering in a 12-member City Council and ranked-choice voting starting in the 2024 general election. To make sure these changes are successfully initiated, significant community outreach has been needed, including feedback on how this new government will function. This outreach has culminated in a research report measuring the priorities and procedures desired by various community members and organizations, which was communicated to the Government Transition Advisory Committee (GTAC).
