Wilsonville Who would have thought that back in the 1970s, when the region said “no” to building an eight-lane freeway through Southeast Portland and instead said “yes” to build- ing light rail, that we would become the national leader on creating great communities with transit? In the 25 years since we opened the fi rst MAX line be- tween Portland and Gresham, we have seen neighborhoods created and enhanced along all of our light-rail lines. These are vibrant places to live, work and play. Since that original 15-mile line to Gresham, the MAX system has grown to 52 miles, serving all three counties in our region. Our fi ve MAX lines have been so successful that ridership continues to grow — now averaging more than 130,000 rides each weekday. And we continue to expand the system with our sixth line under construction — the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Project. We hear from our community that they want more — not just MAX, but also more bus service. Just last year our buses and trains carried more than 100 million rides! We also hear from cities around the country asking how they can replicate our success with light rail.

Introduction This report presents comparative case studies, defined as “the analysis and synthesis of the similarities, differences and patterns across two or more cases that share a common focus or goal in a way that produces knowledge that is easier to generalize about causal questions” (Goodrick, 2014: 1). This follows earlier case studies by the authors at five exemplary transit-oriented developments (TODs) across the U.S.: Redmond TOD in Seattle; Rhode Island Row in Washington D.C.; Fruitvale Village in San Francisco-Oakland; Englewood TOD in Denver; and Wilshire/Vermont in Los Angeles (Ewing et al. 2016). The subject of this sixth case study is Orenco Station, on the west side of the Portland metropolitan area in the suburban city of Hillsboro, OR.

Abstract Increasingly MPOs in Texas are incorporating Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) or similar concepts into their long-range plans for the purpose of achieving sustainable transportation. One major challenge to implementing these TOD-type strategies is parking. The conventional parking policies likely produce excessive parking, undermining the expected community benefits of TOD and could even cause the TOD initiative to fail. Getting the parking right is essential to ensure the desirable form and functionality of TOD. There are few studies of the topic on Texas cities. The main objective of this study is to report the state-of-the-knowledge on parking regulations and practice influencing the planning, design, and implementation of TOD.
