Portland mandates gender-neutral restroom signs in all public and private facilities, effective immediately.
The Portland City Council has enacted an ordinance requiring gender-neutral, all-user signage in single-occupancy public restrooms, effective immediately.
The rule, applicable to both public and private facilities, aims to improve access for parents, older adults, people with disabilities, those with health needs, and transgender, nonbinary, and LGBTQ+ individuals.
It does not require structural changes—only sign replacements, available for as little as $5—and the city will mail signage to businesses.
The move closes a gap in a 2015 policy that only applied to city-owned buildings.
Council leaders emphasized low cost and minimal burden on businesses while promoting inclusivity and dignity in public spaces.
