  • Survey of Streetcar Cities] Summaries of the Various Streetcar Projects from Around the United States
    2012 [SURVEY OF STREETCAR CITIES] SUMMARIES OF THE VARIOUS STREETCAR PROJECTS FROM AROUND THE UNITED STATES Introduction Streetcars are enjoying a national revival in these early years of the 21st century. As communities across the nation rediscover the charm and efficiency of this short distance transit option, they are investing in new streetcar lines or extensions of existing operations. This survey in support of The Community Streetcar Coalition (CSC) was commissioned to track important streetcar development projects, planned or underway, in major U.S. cities. Portland Streetcar Inc. funded this work with the partial proceeds of its 2005 Rudy Bruner Gold Medal Award for Urban Excellence. This survey report is a living, working document. It will be updated regularly, and shared with policymakers, opinion leaders, interested municipalities, and those involved in streetcar issues and technologies. Cities wishing to be included in subsequent iterations of this document should contact Julie Gustafson, [email protected]. The Community Streetcar Coalition The Community Streetcar Coalition was established in 2004. It is comprised of cities, transit authorities and private sector that are focused on supporting the Small Starts program and establishment of a program that supports streetcars in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) and advocating with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to implement the Small Starts program.

    2018 Regional Transportation Plan Appendix C Online survey comments on Public Review Draft and Strategies August 31, 2018 Appendix C: Online survey comments on Public Review Draft and Strategies What would you like to share about this balance of investments and your transportation priorities? Answered: 637 Skipped: 244 # RESPONSES DATE 1 There is too much allocated to highways 8/17/2018 6:12 AM 2 Really? After all the pomp about sustainability and trying to make Portland a more dense, dynamic city, Metro is proposing $4.6B 8/15/2018 11:36 PM on highways? That's a stale and unambitious idea. Build it and they will come--so lets build what the planet and our society are begging for people to use. Also, more on transportation demand management and systems--streamline it all so bikes always have an earlier green light, cars can flow freely when driving is necessary, etc. 3 Firstly and most importantly, absolutely no money should be spent on highway expansion considering the current situation with 8/15/2018 11:26 PM climate change. Investing in highway expansion is the same materially as climate change denial. Metro, the State, and the City of Portland will not meet our low-bar climate goals if investments are made in highways. Instead, the current infrastructure should be used efficiently through use of tolling either by tolling the entire system, or use of market-based pricing toll lanes. The current plan does does little to actually build a transit or active transportation system where residents can quickly travel throughout the region without a car.

  • Streetcar Operations
    Portland Bureau of Transportation Streetcar Operations Program Description & Goals The Streetcar connects neighborhoods, employment centers and cultural destinations around the central city with seven-days-a-week service, from Northwest Portland to the Pearl, Portland State University (PSU), South Waterfront, OMSI, Central Eastside and Lloyd, crossing the Broadway Bridge and the Tillikum Crossing. The program provides both transportation mobility and an incentive for denser, urban development. As the streetcar has expanded, the collaboration between public and private partners has resulted in affordable housing, public open spaces, and brownfield redevelopment. The Portland Streetcar is owned by the City of Portland and operated by the Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) in partnership with TriMet (the regional transit agency) and Portland Streetcar, Inc. (PSI), a nonprofit that provides management support and private sector advocacy. With it’s 5-Year Strategic Plan, Portland Streetcar tracks a number of performance measures and provides an annual report to City Council on the program. Key performance measures include annual streetcar ridership, percent of operating budget provided by fare revenue, and percent of on- time performance. In April 2018, Streetcar had its highest average weekday ridership of 16,650, and a FY 2017-18 total of 4.87 million. On-time performance for FY 2017-18 was 85%, 84%, and 79% respectively for the NS Line, A Loop and B Loop.
