Regional Framework for Highway Jurisdictional Transfer Study Regional Framework for Highway Jurisdictional Transfer Study November 2020 Final Regional Framework for Highway Jurisdictional Transfer Study i Metro respects civil rights Metro fully complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related statutes that ban discrimination. If any person believes they have been discriminated against regarding the receipt of benefits or services because of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability, they have the right to file a complaint with Metro. For information on Metro’s civil rights program, or to obtain a discrimination complaint form, visit www.oregonmetro.gov/civilrights or call 503-797-1536. Metro provides services or accommodations upon request to persons with disabilities and people who need an interpreter at public meetings. If you need a sign language interpreter, communication aid, or language assistance, call 503-797-1700 or TDD/TTY 503-797-1804 (8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays) five business days before the meeting.

Metro is the federally mandated metropolitan planning organization designated by the governor to develop an overall transportation plan and to allocate federal funds for the region. The Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation (JPACT) is a 17-member committee that provides a forum for elected officials and representatives of agencies involved in transportation to evaluate transportation needs in the region and to make recommendations to the Metro Council. The established decision-making process assures a well-balanced regional transportation system and involves local elected officials directly in decisions that help the Metro Council develop regional transportation policies, including allocating transportation funds.

Reason for Board Action The Board may adopt service changes and revise TriMet Code route designations only by adoption of an Ordinance. 4. Type of Action Resolution Ordinance 1st Reading and Public Hearing Ordinance 2nd Reading 5. Background In response to dramatic losses in ridership and adoption of health precautions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, TriMet implemented urgent service changes on April 5, 2020 and August 31, 2020. The first set of service changes were put in place on April 5, 2020 in response to a precipitous fall in ridership due to the outbreak of the pandemic. TriMet staff quickly developed a service reduction plan intended to protect transit service levels provided to low-income and minority communities, hospitals, and major job centers with a high percentage of low-wage jobs. The April 5, 2020 service reduction plan included: • No change in weekday service levels for 24 of 85 bus lines (28% of all lines) • Weekday service adjustments to 61 of 85 bus lines (72% of all lines) • Bus lines receiving weekday service adjustments transitioned from weekday service to Saturday service; lines without Saturday service had their weekday service modified to a lower level; span of service (later or earlier) was adjusted to accommodate demand • Bus lines with weekend service were adjusted to Sunday service for the entire weekend • Weekday MAX service was adjusted to operate every 15 min.

There was also concern that such a long corridor, with so many issues, might be too expensive to address in a complete way, and that consideration would have to be given to priority projects. Other issues, such as equitable access and problems with projected growth were brought up, but the primary focus was on safety issues and transit access.
