Public Transit a History of Public Transit in Portland
Hilary Pfeifer Meredith Dittmar PUBLIC TRANSIT A history of public transit in Portland Melody Owen Mark Richardson Smith Kristin Mitsu Shiga Chandra Bocci trimet.org/history Traveling through time Dear Reader, Transit plays a critical role in providing options for traveling throughout the region. It connects people to work, school, recreational destinations and essential services. It’s not just a commuter service. It’s a community asset. And the benefits extend far beyond those who ride. TriMet’s transit system is recognized as a national leader for its connection to land use. By linking land-use planning and transit, we have helped create livable communities, vibrant neighborhoods and provide alternatives to driving. Transit is also a catalyst for economic development. More than $10 billion in transit-oriented development has occurred within walking distance of MAX light rail stations since the decision to build in 1980. Developers like the permanence of rail when investing in projects. Transit is also valued by the community. Most of our riders— 81 percent—are choice riders. They have a car available or choose not to own one so they can ride TriMet. With more than 325,000 trips taken each weekday on our buses, MAX Light Rail and WES Commuter Rail, we eliminate 66 million annual car trips. That eases traffic congestion and helps keep our air clean. TriMet carries more people than any other U.S. transit system our size. Our many innovations have drawn the attention of government leaders, planners, transit providers and transit users from around the world. We didn’t start out that way. -

McCartney.com :: Newsletter Summer 2009 Wrap Up 9/16/09 11:32 AM Welcome to the Summer Wrap Up Edition of the McCartney.com newsletter. (created by Martin Nethercutt) Hello Francis, Well summer is finally officially over and we all trust you had a great Labor Day weekend. Did you know that today, September 9, 2009 is the 252nd day of the year and that 252 adds up to 9? On top of that, 09.09.09 falls on a Wednesday and both the words Wednesday and September have 9 letters. This date is so rare that it is the last of the single digit dates for another 1001 years. We have been busy with a ton of new projects that are currently in development, so we will be bringing them to you in Q4. Many of you have been wondering how we did in these terrible Southern California wild fires. Well, thankfully we are fine and everyone is holding up but the air is acrid and you can actually see the smoke from space. Sadly, it's deja vu for SoCal residents... Here are some incredible pictures that we'd like to share, courtesy of Boston.com September 2, 2009 Wildfires in Southern California (Alan Taylor) Angeles National Forest, in the hills outside of Los Angeles currently has several wildfires tearing through it, the largest of which - named the Station Fire - has so far burned over 140,000 acres, destroyed nearly 100 structures, and claimed the lives of two firefighters whose vehicle fell from a road into a steep canyon. -
