Friends of Frog Ferry is a non-profit grassroots initiative that aims to create a safe and sustainable river-friendly public passenger ferry service in the Portland metro region. With the mission of connecting people to their river and one another, the organization seeks to enhance community livability and build a stronger sense of community. Led by Founder and President Susan Bladholm, Friends of Frog Ferry has a dedicated team of volunteers, industry experts, and stakeholders working towards this goal.

The ferry service will feature up to seven 70-100 passenger commuter vessels, providing convenient transportation between Oregon City and Vancouver, Washington. With an estimated commute time of just 44 minutes from Vancouver to Salmon Street, the service aims to reduce congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, and the number of cars on the road. Additionally, it will offer a low-cost means of connecting marginalized populations with jobs and services.

Friends of Frog Ferry is currently in the research and fundraising phase, with plans for an upcoming pilot. To support the initiative, donations can be made, and supporters can stay updated on progress by signing up for the Frog Ferry Newsletter.
