ADVOCACY BRIEFS

Delivery Fee Cap Extended: ORLA was instrumental in securing an extension of the 10% third party delivery fee cap in Portland. We're planning to work closely with restaurant owners, the City, third party delivery companies, and other stakeholders around a permanent delivery fee cap within the city limits.

Hotel Loading Zones Protected: Recent communications between ORLA and Portland Commissioner Hardesty’s office proved successful in maintaining the 15-minute hotel loading zone and dismissing a proposed 3-minute loading zone.
