Clean & Safe District map
Downtown Portland's Clean & Safe District is one of the oldest, largest and most successful in the nation and encompasses a 213-block area of downtown Portland. Businesses within this elected to pay a fee to raise money that supplements publicly-financed services for neighborhood improvement. Portland's Clean & Safe District funds the Downtown Clean & Safe Program, which provides cleaning, security and community justice services downtown; the Downtown Retail and Marketing Program, which focuses on market research, retail advocacy, marketing and communication; and the Sidewalk Ambassador Program, which offers information and assistance to downtown visitors.
The Downtown Services department provides programs designed to:
- Maintain a clean, attractive and orderly downtown
- Enhance safety and security in the downtown
- Assist the City and the County in resolving public space maintenance or public safety issues in public environments
- Advise other areas of the region on District development and benefits
- Partner with public entities in providing a community based quality of life restorative justice system
 The Alliance manages Downtown Clean & Safe to ensure that Portland's downtown is the best place to live, work, shop, and play. Clean & Safe District resources are also used to provide crime prevention training, business assistance for retail operations and market research and downtown retail and marketing.
