Clean & Safe Services

The Downtown Services department uses the resources from the Business Improvement District to manage enhanced Clean and Safe services for downtown Portland.

Servicing 213 blocks within the urban core, 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 BID development and benefits
• Partner with public entities in providing a community based quality of life restorative justice system

The Alliance manages Downtown Clean & Safe for Portland Downtown Services, Inc. to ensure that Portland's downtown is the best place to live, work, shop, and play. BID resources are also used to provide crime prevention training, business assistance for retail and office operations, staffing for downtown neighborhood associations, and market research and downtown retail and marketing.
