Welcome to the Vision into Action (VIA) Web Site!

Vision into Action (VIA) is a community-based group formed to carry forward the work of visionPDX, an unprecedented effort that involved over 17,000 Portlanders in creating a vision for the city’s future.

PORTLAND'S VISION FOR 2030:

Shaped by the Willamette and Columbia rivers, Portland connects people and nature to create an international model of equity and sustainability.
We are a city of communities. Our distinct neighborhoods and vibrant downtown are safe, energizing civic and cultural spaces.
Our diverse population, innovative businesses and forward-thinking leaders work together to ensure livability for all.

OUR OBJECTIVES:

Vision into Action is currently pursuing the following three objectives:

1. Facilitating the engagement of communities and populations whose voices are under-represented in public decision-making and planning processes;
2. Helping organizations, businesses, neighborhoods, and governments to align their efforts with the community vision for 2030; and
3. Advocating for projects and policies that align with the vision for 2030 articulated by 17,000 Portland-area residents who participated in visionPDX.
