He joins Portland State Uni- versity President Ann Cudd for the Presidential Speaker Series to share best practices and in- spire the PSU community on its journey to becoming the region’s model majority BIPOC insti- tution.

Caring for our environment takes teamwork Is there a bus stop in your community that you’d like to give some extra care and atten- tion? Consider adopting a stop. If you’re part of a business or com- munity group, you can help make a difference through TriMet’s Adopt-A-Stop Program. We have close to 7,000 bus stops in our transit system, and while we do our best to stay on top of litter and vandalism, it’s a huge task to accomplish. When civic-minded businesses or or- ganizations volunteer to help us maintain litter-free bus stops, they help make the Portland area a better place to live and work for everyone. By adopting a bus stop, a business or organization (such as a community group, church or school) agrees to keep a stop (or stops) litter-free. If you’re part of a group interested in adopting a stop for at least one year, here’s how you can help. Have a desig- nated representative of your group contact us about the bus stop or stops your group wants to adopt. We’ll provide you with trash re- ceptacles for the stops you adopt. You provide the trash bags, pick up litter and empty the receptacles when they get full. A Trimet Bus Stop.
