Please don’t bike, skate or play around bus stops or at MAX stations. Follow the signals, look both ways and only cross the street or MAX tracks at designated crossing areas. MAX needs plenty of time to stop — don’t try to cut in front of a moving train! Stand behind the white bumpy strip at MAX stations while waiting for the train to arrive. Stay seen when it’s dark out by wearing flashing lights or reflective clothing. Hang onto the handrails to avoid falling while the bus or train is starting and stopping.

    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.

  • The Oregonian Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Loses Top Aide to Trimet Free Biketown Month 'Smashed' Previous Ridership Records
    The Oregonian Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Loses Top Aide to TriMet By Gordon Friedman June 6, 2018 Maurice Henderson, chief of staff to Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, will leave the mayor's office to take a job as the chief operating officer of TriMet, Henderson said Wednesday. Henderson said his last day with the mayor's office will likely be in early July and that Wheeler has not yet selected his replacement. Likely candidates include the mayor's deputy chiefs of staff, Michael Cox and Kristin Dennis. Wheeler said in a statement that he is "extremely happy for Maurice" and called him "a trusted friend" and effective chief of staff. Henderson said serving on the mayor's team of advisers has been "one of my greatest professional and personal honors." While working in City Hall, Henderson oversaw the recruitment of a diverse team of mayoral aides and headed negotiations to hire Police Bureau Chief Danielle Outlaw -- the city's first African American woman police chief. He also helped the mayor gain City Council approval to issue the first installment in what Wheeler hopes will eventually be $600 million in bonds to fix streets, sidewalks and parks. Before working for Wheeler, Henderson was assistant director of the Portland Bureau of Transportation and worked for several Washington, D.C. mayors and former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine.
