Porto No. 210 (renumbered Enterprises (1974-1993) 201 before arrival) is not a part of the Trolley Park story, of course, but it is similar to the streetcars that were kept there. Richard Thompson Car 210 was one of a series built during 1938-45 to replace the Brill and St. Louis Car Company classics. A sense of familiarity might also come from the fact that vintage Beginning in 1974, Gales Creek Enterprises (GCE), Portuguese trams share a kinship with our beloved Council headed by Oregon Electric Railway Historical Society Crest cars 503 and 506. (OERHS) co-founder Paul Class, provided at least 70 vintage streetcars to launch trolley operations in a half-dozen American cities. In the process Paul almost single-handedly started what we now call the “heritage streetcar” movement. His company imported many streetcars from Australia and Brazil, but the largest part of that pioneering effort involved trams from Portugal.

  • 1 | Page Date: December 7, 2017 To: Neil Mcfarlane General Manager From
    Date: December 7, 2017 To: Neil McFarlane General Manager From: Erik Van Hagen Senior Deputy General Counsel Subject: Recommendations for Administrative Resolution of Fare Evasion Citations In advance of the TriMet Board of Directors December 13 briefing, this memorandum outlines recommendations for the Board as it considers upcoming changes to fare evasion penalties based on the newly enacted administrative option for citations as provided for in HB 2777. This memorandum is intended to provide both the Board of Directors and the public an opportunity to understand the rationale for the recommendations and allow the public to offer feedback to the Board in advance of the January 24, 2018, first reading of an ordinance to adopt administrative penalties for fare evasion. SUMMARY Following extensive outreach and planning, and for the reasons outlined in greater detail below, the following four recommendations are offered as administrative penalties for adult fare evasion in the forthcoming administrative process authorized by HB 2777: 1. Fines. If paid during the ninety (90)-day stay period, the presumptive fine should be reduced to the following amounts: -First offense: $75 -Second offense: $100 -Third offense: $150 -Fourth offense and beyond: $175 (no reduction) 2. Community Service. In lieu of a fine payment, the cited party should be allowed to complete community service as follows: -First offense: 4 hours -Second offense: 7 hours -Third offense: 12 hours -Fourth offense and beyond: 15 hours 1 | Page 3. Low income/Honored Citizen Option. For those customers cited for fare evasion who: (1) are eligible for (but not enrolled in) TriMet’s Low Income Fare or Honored Citizen programs; (2) successfully enroll in the Low Income Fare or Honored Citizen program during the 90-day stay period; and (3) load a minimum of $10 on their reloadable fare card during the 90-day stay period, TriMet will reduce the citation to $0 following verification of the above.

  • Frog Ferry Presentation
    Frog Ferry Portland-Vancouver Passenger Water Taxi Service Frog= Shwah-kuk in the Chinookan Tribal Language, Art: Adam McIssac CONFIDENTIAL-Susan Bladholm Version 2018 Q1 Canoes and Frog Mythology on the Columbia & Willamette Rivers The ability to travel the waters of the Columbia and Willamette rivers has allowed people to become intertwined through trade and commerce for centuries by canoe. The journal entries of Lewis and Clark in 1805 described the shores of the Columbia River as being lined with canoes elaborately carved from cedar trees. The ability to navigate these waterways gave the Chinook people control over vast reaches of the Columbia River basin for hundreds of years. The area surrounding the Columbia and Willamette rivers is steeped in a rich mythology told to us through early ethnographers who traveled the river documenting Native American inhabitants and their culture. According to Chinookan mythology, Frog (Shwekheyk in Chinook language), was given the basics of weavable fiber by his relatives, Snake and omnipotent Coyote. With this fiber, Frog was given the task of creating the cordage for the weaving of the first fishing net. With this net, made from fibers of nettle plants, Frog had made it possible for the new human beings to catch their first salmon. Coyote tested the net, with the guidance and wisdom of his three sisters, thereby establishing the complex set of taboos associated with the catching of the first salmon of the season. The Chinook people would never eat or harm Frog for his association to them would always protect him. That is why you should always step around frogs and never over them.
