Ped Pals

FOR 55+ YEAR-OLDSWalking with a buddy is fun!

We all know that walking is very beneficial for both our bodies and our minds. 

The Bureau of Transportation is pleased to introduce a brand new program for seniors to help provide motivation and encouragement for those who want to increase their walking: Ped Pals.

The goal is to help find walking buddies who live somewhat close to one another, making it easier and more convenient to walk all year long.  No private information is given out without your consent, and City staff will arrange a first meeting at a public place and provide walking routes if desired.

Please contact Donna Green at either (503) 823-6114 or donna.green@portlandoregon.gov for a form to fill out.  Or click here for a PDF version of the form you can print, fill-out, and mail in.

This program is completely FREE!!
