Frog Ferry jumps at fresh start with new Portland government

Advocates for the Frog Ferry initiative gathered on September 24 to promote their vision for a public passenger ferry service on the Willamette River in Portland. During the media event, they framed the upcoming transition of the City Council as a critical "inflection point" for the initiative. The supporters believe that this change in leadership could provide renewed momentum for the ferry project, which aims to enhance urban mobility and connect various neighborhoods. The initiative is seen as a potential solution to Portland's transportation challenges, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional road travel. Local media coverage of the event underscored the community's enthusiasm for innovative transportation options.

The Frog Ferry initiative not only aims to improve accessibility but also seeks to promote environmental sustainability by utilizing the river as a transit route. As discussions around urban transportation continue, the advocates are hopeful that their efforts will resonate with city leaders and the public. The future of the Frog Ferry initiative may hinge on the City Council's willingness to embrace new ideas in public transit.
