Westside Service Enhancement Plan September, 2013 Dear Reader, Do you wish the bus ran later or more frequently? Would you like a bus line to come closer your home? Would you like to take TriMet to work, school, appointments or recreation? These are the types of questions we asked when researching the Westside Service Enhancement Plan (WSEP)–our roadmap for future transit service investments in Beaverton, Hillsboro, Cornelius, Forest Grove and Washington County. The WSEP is a proposal to improve transit connections between growth areas on the Westside. It proposes to improve service A note from frequencies, a new approach to transit in difficult-to-serve areas, TriMet and calls for more sidewalks and safe crossings. The first improvements will occur this fall with route and frequency General Manager, improvements on Line 47-Baseline/Evergreen and Line 48-Cornell. Neil McFarlane But it is one thing to create a plan, and another to fully implement it. We cannot carry out this plan alone–it will take partnerships. Partnerships (with both private and public entities) are required to ensure that our customers can safely access bus stops using sidewalks and safe crossings, and that TriMet buses can move past traffic congestion with signal priority and bus lanes. Working together, we can create the total transit system. And, the WSEP is just the beginning. This summer we launched a similar effort in Southwest (Tigard, Tualatin, King City, Durham, Sherwood, Lake Oswego, West Linn and SW Portland) and the Eastside (East Portland, Gresham, Fairview, Wood Village and Troutdale). Future plans will also focus on Portland and Clackamas County. As you read through this plan, I hope you see your vision for TriMet service on the Westside, because it was your community that helped us create it. Regards,

This vision was with corporate expansions, business recruitments, developed with the help of dozens of partners, new neighborhood development, and surging public and private, around the Westside. The plan enrollment at Portland Community College. With aligns future improvements with current and this growth, we’re developing a plan to grow, too. projected needs by recommending better transit connections, improved frequency, safer pedestrian facilities, and increased access to jobs and community services. The plan also highlights opportunities to partner with local jurisdictions and the private sector to make it easier for people to reach and use transit. The plan identifies: • near-term service enhancements that can be made with little or no additional cost • long-term service improvements and expansion Rising employment: Westside employment is when revenues allow growing as companies like Intel, Nike and Kaiser • opportunities for partnering with the public and Permanente expand operations, new tech private sectors to improve access to transit companies arrive, and retail stores locate in the including walking and biking to bus, MAX and Westside shopping centers of Progress Ridge WES Townsquare, Cedar Mill Crossing and the Streets of Tanasbourne.

However, as new development arrives, so do new enterprises. Nicknamed ‘The Silicon Forest’, the Westside is now the center of the state’s high-tech industry and home to hundreds of companies designing and manufacturing products ranging from computer chips (Intel, TriQuint), to solar panels (SolarWorld), to electron microscopes (FEI), and LCD monitors (Planar Systems). The Westside is also a hub for the region’s sports and outdoor ap- parel industry (Nike, Columbia Sportswear). In addition, the area has thousands of entry-level customer service jobs such as call centers (Netflix,

New apartments with ground floor retail are also rising in Downtown Hillsboro, hailing a new era of downtown living on the Westside. Many newcomers arrive not only from out of state, but from overseas. This includes Spanish speaking workers in a variety of industries in Hillsboro, Cornelius, Forest Grove, and Aloha/Reedville and permanent and temporary high-tech employees from Asia and Europe living in Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Bethany. These new arrivals are part of the broad cultural diversity that now exists on the Westside. Nonetheless, challenges to the area’s transportation PCC prepares the Westside for the future network come with the expansion of these industries. For example, Intel is in the midst of a $6 billion expansion of its Ronler Acres campus, Kaiser Permanente will soon open its new $344 million medical campus, and Nike is pursuing a $150 million expansion on its campus. All three developments will bring more traffic to the Westside. Though Intel and Nike operate shuttles to MAX, they will not be enough to stem the flow of traffic brought on by their growth. As these large employers grow, the public and private sectors Portland Community College’s (PCC) Rock Creek and must develop transportation solutions together– Willow Creek campuses are vital for workforce even looking to solutions sponsored by large development on the Westside. With over 25,000 employers in other metro areas, such as Microsoft students, PCC offers a variety of programs that and Google, which provide extensive, privately include technology and trades classes supported by contracted transit services to their employees.

Total weekday ridership on the transportation facilities, Westside communities lines averaged below 10,000 rides. TriMet has since continue to plan for future infrastructure with maintained many of the same bus routes operated recent planning processes for TV Highway, by Tualatin Valley Stages including bus routes on Aloha-Reedville and Downtown Beaverton. Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, Cornell Rd., and TV Highway and added new ones as the region grew. In the early-to mid-1980’s TriMet built a series of transit centers and other transit facilities on the Westside and increased service on some bus lines. Bus lines were re-oriented to those transit centers to allow better travel within the Westside, not just to and from Portland.

Yet, despite these efforts, the Westside street network will always have the imprint of its farm to market road legacy. For example, a relatively small number of streets span the Westside while others lead to dead ends or rural, 2-lane roads. Additionally, there are large concentrations of jobs located in the north portion of the Westside along Highway 26 and housing located to the south and east. Consequently, traffic is funneled to a fairly small number of major streets, leading to significant congestion during peak Westside MAX: An economic game changer travel times. Congestion and delay challenges Tri- The next major change to transit on the Met’s buses as well as other commercial and private Westside came with the introduction of a new vehicle drivers. mode to the area: light rail. In September 1998, TriMet on the Westside TriMet opened the 18-mile Westside MAX Blue Line extension between Downtown Portland and Downtown Hillsboro. The $963.5 million project includes 16 stations, 3,698 parking spaces located between Sunset Transit Center and Downtown Hillsboro and a three-mile-long tunnel through the west hills. It provided the first new transportation link across the west hills in more than a generation. Westside MAX provides regional mobility for resi- dents of all incomes and connects people to em- ployment opportunities that may not otherwise exist. With more than $3.2 billion of development occurring within a 1/2 mile of the line, Westside 5 MAX has and continues to reshape development Connecting the dots: maps & surveys patterns–most prominently at Orenco Station, a Mapping residential and employment data from model for semi-urban development.
