2018 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program December, 2014 About Metro Clean Air and Clean Water Do Not Stop at City Limits Or County Lines 2015 – 2018 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program December, 2014 About Metro Clean air and clean water do not stop at city limits or county lines. Neither does the need for jobs, a thriving economy, and sustainable transportation and living choices for people and businesses in the region. Voters have asked Metro to help with the challenges and opportunities that affect the 25 cities and three counties in the Portland metropolitan area. A regional approach simply makes sense when it comes to providing services, operating venues and making decisions about how the region grows. Metro works with communities to support a resilient economy, keep nature close by and respond to a changing climate. Together we’re making a great place, now and for generations to come. Stay in touch with news, stories and things to do. www.oregonmetro.gov/connect Metro Council President Tom Hughes Metro Councilors Shirley Craddick, District 1 Carlotta Collette, District 2 Craig Dirksen, District 3 Kathryn Harrington, District 4 Sam Chase, District 5 Bob Stacey, District 6 Auditor Suzanne Flynn Nondiscrimination Notice to the Public Metro hereby gives public notice that it is the policy of the Metro Council to assure full compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, Executive Order 12898 on Environmental Justice and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities.

The Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) is the federally mandated four- year schedule of expenditures (i.e., spending) of federal transportation funds as well as significant state and local funds in the Portland metropolitan region. As a report, the MTIP provides the upcoming four-year implementation schedule of transportation projects in the Portland region. The MTIP also demonstrates how the transportation projects to be implemented comply with federal regulations regarding project eligibility, air quality impacts, environmental justice and public involvement. The MTIP serves as the first four years of the region’s long-range transportation plan implementation strategy.

Wilsonville Who would have thought that back in the 1970s, when the region said “no” to building an eight-lane freeway through Southeast Portland and instead said “yes” to build- ing light rail, that we would become the national leader on creating great communities with transit? In the 25 years since we opened the fi rst MAX line be- tween Portland and Gresham, we have seen neighborhoods created and enhanced along all of our light-rail lines. These are vibrant places to live, work and play. Since that original 15-mile line to Gresham, the MAX system has grown to 52 miles, serving all three counties in our region. Our fi ve MAX lines have been so successful that ridership continues to grow — now averaging more than 130,000 rides each weekday. And we continue to expand the system with our sixth line under construction — the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Project. We hear from our community that they want more — not just MAX, but also more bus service. Just last year our buses and trains carried more than 100 million rides! We also hear from cities around the country asking how they can replicate our success with light rail.

Under the leadership of Chris Lyons, a group of neighbors formed an ad hoc committee of the Multnomah Neighborhood Association. These present-day road warriors are sick and tired of the deficiencies on this road but say they believe this time they may be successful. This was the second meeting held by the ad hoc committee. From this reporter’s view, the group of crusaders seemed like new troops replacing the tired ones.
