We install parking lot speed bumps across the Portland metro — retail centers, medical campuses, school districts, distribution centers, multifamily properties — across Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties. Portland metro is our highest-volume region. From our Salem base, we hit most metro sites with next-day or two-day mobilization. The codes that govern these installs are city-specific, plus Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue on the west side, Portland Fire & Rescue on the east side, and federal ADA Title III and IFC Section 503 at the property line.
What's below: how we coordinate metro-wide, the property types we install most often, and how to scope a multi-property metro install. City-specific details are on the linked city pages.
What is the Portland metro service area?

What property types does Cojo serve in metro?
Five property categories cover the bulk of metro speed-bump demand:
1. Retail centers and shopping plazas
Strip malls, big-box anchors, lifestyle centers, and outparcel pad sites. The metro's retail-property inventory generates the highest single-category demand for speed bumps. See speed bumps for retail parking lots for retail-specific spec.
2. Distribution and warehouse facilities
Hillsboro's Sunset Highway corridor, Tualatin's industrial parks, Portland's Northwest Industrial Triangle, and the Gresham-east distribution belt all carry heavy warehouse demand. See speed bumps for warehouses for OSHA-compliant spec.
3. Multifamily properties
Apartment complexes, condominium communities, and HOA-governed developments. Insurance-renewal-driven traffic-calming requests are the highest-frequency trigger. See speed bumps for HOA communities.
4. Medical campuses
Legacy and Providence health-system campuses, Kaiser Permanente facilities, and standalone medical-office buildings. Drop-off-lane and ambulance-access considerations drive product selection.
5. School districts
Portland Public Schools, Beaverton School District, Hillsboro School District, Gresham-Barlow, North Clackamas, and other metro districts. See speed bumps for school zones.
What is special about metro speed-bump scoping?
Three metro-specific scoping factors:
1. Off-hours mobilization is standard
Most metro retail and multifamily sites have customer or tenant traffic that makes daytime installs impractical. Cojo's standard practice is overnight or Sunday-morning mobilization, with the off-hours premium typically running 15 to 25 percent above standard daytime rates.
2. Two fire authorities
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue covers Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Tualatin, Sherwood, Forest Grove, and most of Washington County. Portland Fire & Rescue covers Portland and the east-Multnomah corridor. Multi-property metro projects that span the TVFR-PFR boundary require parallel fire-marshal coordination.
3. Multi-property portfolios are common
Property-management firms operating across 5 to 50 metro sites can scope a single Cojo engagement covering all sites in a sequenced multi-week mobilization. The multi-site discount typically runs 10 to 20 percent off list per individual site, plus optimized crew-routing reduces overall mobilization cost.

Current Market Reality
2026 Portland metro install pricing reflects Oregon prevailing-wage requirements on commercial sites above $25,000 in scope, elevated rubber-feedstock costs, and the high concentration of professionally managed commercial properties that expect off-hours mobilization, ADA documentation, and post-install verification reports. Multi-property portfolios are typically the most cost-efficient way to scope metro work.
