  • Existing Framework Memo Draft 11
    To: Gorge Transit Strategy Working Group Date: November 15, 2020 From: Kathy Fitzpatrick, Mobility Manager Subject: Gorge Regional Transit Strategy: Existing Framework Memo Gorge Regional Transit Strategy: Background The purpose of the Gorge Regional Transit Strategy phase 1 is to combine the goals, policies, and prioritizations of local transportation planning efforts in the Columbia Gorge to establish a foundation for a regional strategy and vision for public transportation. Phase 1 objectives include strengthening partnerships, completing local plan assessments, and synthesizing goals and policies into a high-level regional vision. Phase II of the Strategy will focus on an implementation strategy with additional data analysis, ridership forecasts, financial planning, and operational assessments. The USFS (Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area) offered assistance from the US DOT Volpe Center for the Gorge Transit Strategy. The Gorge Regional Transit Strategy Project Management Team worked with the Volpe Center Team to build on their recent transportation plan research work. Existing Framework Memo The Existing Framework Memo summarizes and synthesizes existing local, regional, statewide public transportation plans, studies, and programs to identify common or conflicting goals, policies and strategies. This will create an awareness of inconsistencies and endorsement of commonalities but does not seek to amend or revise current or adopted plans. The Existing Framework Memo includes an overview of the planning area, a summary of existing services, and summaries of the existing local, regional, and statewide public transportation plans reviewed. Strategy Area The strategy area is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the five transportation providers whose partnership forms the Gorge TransLink Alliance. Providers include Mt Adams Transportation Service (Klickitat County), Skamania County Transit, Columbia Area Transit (Hood River County), the Link (Wasco County), and Sherman County Community Transit.

Background Metro is the federally mandated metropolitan planning organization (MPO) designated by the governor to develop an overall transportation plan and to program federal funds. Comprised of transportation representatives from across the region, JPACT recommends priorities and develops plans for the region. Before adopting transportation policies, the Metro Council must consider JPACT’s recommendations. Federal law, MAP-21, requires that MPOs representing areas with populations over 200,000 (known as Transportation Management Areas, or TMAs) have a decision-making structure that incorporates input from local elected officials, transit agencies, and appropriate state officials. Across the country, MPO boards vary in size. Federal regulations further define the role of the “policy advisory committee” in terms provide oversight and guidance to the MPO on transportation planning and funding. Metro’s Code and the JPACT Bylaws describe the makeup
