Commissions consist of appointed members who have some delegated decision-making responsibility, usually from the City Council. In addition, these Commissions provide policy advice to the City Council.

Operational Advisory Committees are ongoing bodies that advise staff on operational matters. Operational Advisory Committees focus primarily on operational areas, but sometimes they may be asked to look at a policy topic by the City Council. Operational needs may be further assisted by operational work groups, which are short-term advisory bodies that advise staff on specific operational matters and then disband.

In general, the structure and operations of committees and work groups are more flexible and customized to the needs of the topic or issue.

Policy Advisory Boards are ongoing advisory bodies that provide advice to the City Council on specific policy areas. In general, Policy Advisory Boards provide strategic, high-level advice on specific policy questions that are before the Council. In addition, they may be a topic that is more operational in nature to help assist City staff. The City Council may also create Task Forces for specific policy purposes. Task Forces serve for the period required to complete the tasks identified by the City Council.

Running for a single week from September 16 – 22, Oregon’s Get There Car Free Challenge is a timely reason to reduce drive alone car trips by taking transit, walking, biking, ridesharing, using micromobility options, and/or working remotely for the chance to win prizes.
