Streetcar Plan Posters WELCOME Welcome! The purpose of this open house is to present draft recommendations from the Bicycle Master Plan and the Streetcar System Plan to the public. City sta! and citizen volunteers are here to present the material and to answer questions. The room is divided into three sections: one for the Bicycle Master Plan, one for the Streetcar System Plan, and one called “Integration Station,” where we tie the two concepts together. Refreshments and child care services are also available. The bicycle and streetcar networks will play a key role in Portland’s future. Together, they will reduce reliance on the automobile for daily tasks, they will reinforce urban land use patterns, and they will help the City achieve its goals to combat climate change. This is the beginning of a transportation transformation. WHY PLAN? PORTLAND HAS A HISTORY OF SUCCESSFUL LONG-RANGE PLANNING In 1904, landscape architect John C. Olmsted produced a report for the City Among the parks that resulted from the Olmsted Plan are Holladay Park, Irving Parks Board. The plan served as a blueprint for development of the highly Park, Mt. Tabor (shown above), Overlook Park, Rocky Butte, Sellwood Park, valued park system we enjoy today. Washington Park, and several others.

BICYCLE MASTER PLAN Making Bicycling an Integral Part of Daily Life in Portland Bicycle Master Plan City of Portland Office of Transportation As a result of the plan, the number of bikeway miles in Portland has more than tripled. In 1996, the City adopted the current Bicycle Master Plan. It envisioned a citywide As the next generation of facilities is constructed, more and more Portlanders are likely bikeway network, with detailed implementation strategies and design guidelines. to view the bicycle as a viable transportation option.

A Successful Streetcar System will: • Help the City achieve its peak oil and sustainability strategies. • Provide an organizing structure and catalyst for the City’s future growth along streetcar corridors. • Integrate Streetcar corridors into the City’s existing neighborhoods. Successful Streetcar Corridors need to: • Be a viable transit option with adequate ridership. • Have redevelopment potential. • Demonstrate community support to make the changes necessary for a successful streetcar corridor. # Streetcar System Plan PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT CITY WIDE STREETCAR SYSTEM PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS TRANSPORTATION PLANNING LAND USE PLANNING COMMUNITY LEADERS URBAN DESIGN LOCAL BUSINESSES TRANSIT PLANNING NEIGHBORS CIVIL ENGINEERING LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT System Advisory Streetcar Committee System Plan PROJECT (CITIZENS) Project Team MILESTONES (PM) District Working Groups Development Oriented Transit Team PORTLAND OFFICE OF TRANSPORTATION (PDOT) TRIMET BUREAU OF PLANNING METRO PORTLAND DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION (PDC) OREGON DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (ODOT) PM PM PM PM POTENTIAL STREETCAR DRAFT STREETCAR IMPLEMENTATION FINAL STREETCAR SYSTEM CORRIDOR AND SYSTEM SYSTEM PLAN STUDY PLAN TO PLANNING EVALUATION COMMISSION / CITY COUNCIL SPRING 2008 SPRING 2009 SPRING 2009 SUMMER 2009 PUBLIC MEETINGS PUBLIC MEETINGS (MAY 2009) DISTRICT WORKING GROUPS March 2009 ROLES IN THE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS District Working Groups To assess support for potential streetcar corridors through the city, citizen-led District Working Groups (DWG) were formed by the City of Portland Bureau of Transportation (BOT) Streetcar System Plan (SSP) project team. Representing ! ve districts of the city, citizen-led District Working Groups were asked to discuss and share their thoughts on streetcars and their potential in" uence on urban corridors in the districts where they live and work. The System Advisory Committee (SAC) The SAC is a geographically, ethnically, and generationally diverse group of people who represent the broader community and who are interested in a streetcar system in Portland. The committee maintains a big picture understanding of the Streetcar System Plan and has provided community input throughout the project to the Development Oriented Transit Team (DOTT). As the project progressed, the SAC interacted closely with the District Working Groups and represented their perspectives to the DOTT. Ultimately, they will work with the Portland O# ce of Transportation, Mayor Adams’ O# ce, and the DOTT to present the plan and recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council. The Project Team The Portland O# ce of Transportation is the lead agency and has contracted with a consultant team led by URS to support City sta$ . The Development Oriented Transit Team (DOTT) The Development Oriented Transit Team brings the perspectives of cooperating agencies and bureaus to guide the planning process and make sure the project is aligned with agency/bureau objectives and plans. The Portland O# ce of Transportation is the lead agency. Streetcar System Plan TECHNOLOGY COMPARISON HOW DOES STREETCAR COMPARE TO BUSES AND LIGHT RAIL?

  • White Paper: Urban Application of Aerial Cableway Technology
    WHITE PAPER: URBAN APPLICATION OF AERIAL CABLEWAY TECHNOLOGY WSP USA | June 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WSP USA is pleased to present the following white paper that summarizes the benefits and items for consideration of aerial cableway technology; outlines the project development process; and addresses advantages, costs and challenges associated with developing aerial cableway systems in urban environments. Urban applications of aerial cableway technology have been successfully integrated into transit networks in numerous cities around the globe, including the Portland Aerial Tram (Portland, Oregon) and Roosevelt Island Tram (New York, NY). Interest in aerial cableway technology has grown considerably in the United States in recent years, and initial feasibility studies have been completed in several U.S. cities, including San Diego, CA; Washington DC; and Brooklyn, NY. WSP is evaluating aerial cableway technology as an innovative first- and last-mile connection to regional transit in urban areas. Aerial cableway technology offers multiple benefits, including: relatively lower costs compared to other transportation modes, the ability to overcome significant changes in topography and other obstacles in natural and man-made environments, the ability to bypass congested roadways and transportation corridors, the ability to move high volumes of passengers: the equivalent of one city bus every minute, a streamlined design that fits into the urban environment, the potential to integrate transit-oriented development (TOD) near stations, and the ability to provide service between residential areas and key destinations. Many of these benefits have been realized in existing systems in La Paz, Bolivia, and Medellin, Colombia. Specifically, Medellin’s Line K transports more than 40,000 passengers per day between residential areas and the city center, reducing some commute times from more than an hour to approximately 10 minutes.

  • UNECE Tram and Metro Statistics Metadata Introduction File Structure
    UNECE Tram and Metro Statistics Metadata Introduction This file gives detailed country notes on the UNECE tram and metro statistics dataset. These metadata describe how countries have compiled tram and metro statistics, what the data cover, and where possible how passenger numbers and passenger-km have been determined. Whether data are based on ticket sales, on-board sensors or another method may well affect the comparability of passenger numbers across systems and countries, hence it being documented here. Most of the data are at the system level, allowing comparisons across cities and systems. However, not every country could provide this, sometimes due to confidentiality reasons. In these cases, sometimes either a regional figure (e.g. the Provinces of Canada, which mix tram and metro figures with bus and ferry numbers) or a national figure (e.g. Czechia trams, which excludes the Prague tram system) have been given to maximise the utility of the dataset. File Structure The disseminated file is structured into seven different columns, as follows: Countrycode: These are United Nations standard country codes for statistical use, based on M49. The codes together with the country names, region and other information are given here https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/overview/ (and can be downloaded as a CSV directly here https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/overview/#). City: This column gives the name of the city or region where the metro or tram system operates. In many cases, this is sufficient to identify the system. In some cases, non-roman character names have been converted to roman characters for convenience.

  • The Path to Partnership: How Cities and Transit Systems Can Stop
    The Path to Partnership: How Cities and Transit Systems Can Stop Worrying and Join Forces Introduction In order to keep and attract riders, transit must be frequent, fast, and reliable. Maintaining frequent, fast, and reliable service in the congested conditions of most American cities requires prioritizing street level transit above automobile traffic, through measures like bus lanes, queue jumps, and signal priority. Relative to large capital projects, bus priority measures provide immediate improvements in travel time and reliability at a small fraction of the cost, and can be accomplished overnight with the right combination of paint, light duty street installations, and enforcement. The projects profiled in this study, including a bus lane in Everett, MA, New York City’s Select Bus Service, and Seattle’s Rapid Ride have seen travel time savings of 10-30%. While on-street transit improvements can be done quickly and cheaply, they aren’t necessarily easy to accomplish. Getting them done usually requires two things: · Political will and leadership from mayors, transit system managers and board members, and other leaders who must be willing to defend potentially controversial street and service changes like removing on-street parking spaces for a bus lane, or eliminating bus stops that are too close together. · Structuring transit agencies and city street agencies to more quickly and effectively deliver on-street transit projects. This may mean forging new relationships and decision-making processes, gathering new data, hiring for different skills, and figuring out new ways to prioritize projects. 2 Transit street projects can be tough to get done when there’s no history of doing them.
