City of Bend Launches Transportation and Housing Data Hubs

The City of Bend has launched two innovative data hubs to enhance community access to critical transportation and housing information. The Transportation Data Hub aims to increase transparency surrounding the Transportation Fee, showcasing vital operational metrics from the Transportation & Mobility Department. This hub includes budget information, funding for street preservation, and insights into initiatives like the Neighborhood Speed Radar Program and the 2020 GO Bond. Concurrently, the Housing Data Hub focuses on the city's housing policies, offering data on housing production and efforts to expand affordable housing options. It features dashboards detailing housing production metrics, affordable housing awards, and shelter availability for the homeless.

Both hubs were introduced during a Bend City Council meeting on November 6, 2024, and will be regularly updated to reflect ongoing developments. These initiatives exemplify the city’s dedication to fostering public trust and transparency through accessible data. Community members are encouraged to explore these online resources for the latest information on Bend's transportation and housing landscape.
