Tolling on the Project corridor is intended to manage congestion on I-205 between Stafford Road and Oregon Route 213 (OR 213) and generate revenues to fund congestion relief projects (Figure 1). The information in this memorandum provides a basis for comparing future transportation conditions, evaluating alternatives, and identifying potential improvements to transit, bicycle, pedestrian networks, and to travel options programs. The report is structured as follows: • Section 2 summarizes transit plans for the Project corridor and existing transit services. • Section 3 summarizes pedestrian and bicycle plans and existing facilities. • Section 4 presents an overview of travel options plans and programs. • Section 5 includes a list of References and Sources.

TriMet is the largest transit operator in the Portland metro area. Three other providers operate in the Project corridor, including Canby Area Transit (CAT), South Clackamas Transportation District (SCTD), and South Metro Area Transit (SMART). In addition, Clackamas Community College (CCC) operates a shuttle service between its Oregon City campus and Clackamas Town Center. Table 1 summarizes the service that these five organizations provide. Table 1.

  • Service Alerts – Digital Displays
    Service Alerts – Digital Displays TriMet has digital displays at most MAX Light Rail stations to provide real-time arrival information as well as service disruption/delay messaging. Some of the displays are flat screens as shown to the right. Others are reader boards. Due to space, the messages need to be as condensed as possible. While we regularly post the same alert at stations along a line, during the Rose Quarter MAX Improvements we provided more specific alerts by geographical locations and even individual stations. This was because the service plan, while best for the majority of riders, was complex and posed communications challenges. MAX Blue Line only displays MAX Blue Line disrupted and frequency reduced.

  • The Oregonian Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler to Oversee City Bureaus Previously Run by Commissioner Nick Fish by Everton Bailey Jr
    The Oregonian Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler to oversee city bureaus previously run by Commissioner Nick Fish By Everton Bailey Jr. January 7, 2020 Mayor Ted Wheeler says he added two city bureaus to his portfolio that had been overseen by late Commissioner Nick Fish. Wheeler signed an executive order Tuesday that placed himself in charge of the Bureau of Environmental Services and Portland Parks and Recreation. Fish’s staff will retain the same or similar duties, said Kirstin Dennis, Wheeler’s chief of staff. Fish died of abdominal cancer Thursday. He and Wheeler discussed future oversight of his staff and bureaus before he died, Dennis said. Fish’s city council seat will remain vacant until voters elect a replacement in a special election to complete his term, which expires at the end of 2022. The Portland City Council is scheduled to vote Wednesday to schedule the special election for May 19, the same time as the primary elections when three other city council positions will appear on the ballot. Wheeler and Commissioner Chloe Eudaly are running for reelection in May. Commissioner Amanda Fritz’s seat on the council is also open and she has announced plans to retire. If a runoff election between the top two vote getters to fill Fish’s seat is needed, it would be held Aug. 11. Fish had been in charge of the parks and environmental services bureaus since August 2018. The mayor’s office already oversees the police, housing, and planning and sustainability bureaus as well as the city budget office, city attorney’s office, bureau of development services, Prosper Portland, office of government relations, office of management and finance, and the community technology office.

  • Southwest-Final-Report.Pdf
    SOUTHWEST Service Enhancement Plan Final Report December 2015 Dear Reader, I am proud to present the Southwest Service Enhancement Plan, with recommendations to get you and your fellow community members where you need to go. This report provides a vision for future TriMet service in the Southwest portion of the region (for other areas, see www.trimet.org/future). The vision for future service in the Southwest Service Enhancement Plan is the culmination of many hours of meetings with our customers, neighborhood groups, employers, social service providers, educational institutions and stakeholders. Community members provided input through open house meetings, surveys, focus groups, and individual discussions. Extra effort was put into getting input from the entire community, especially youth, seniors, minorities, people with low incomes, and non-English speakers. Demographic research was used to map common trips, and cities and counties provided input on future growth areas. Lastly, TriMet staff coordinated closely with Metro’s South- west Corridor Plan process to ensure that both efforts complement one A note from another and expand transit in the southwest part of our region. TriMet The final result is a plan that calls for bus service that connects people to more places, more often, earlier, and later. The plan also recommends GeneralManager, improvements to the sidewalks and street crossings to support transit service and new community-job shuttles to serve areas that lack transit service because the demand is too low for traditional TriMet service to Neil McFarlane be economically viable. The service enhancement plans are not just visions of the future, but commitments to grow TriMet’s system.

  • Streetcar System Concept Plan a Framework for Future Corridor Planning and Alternatives Analysis
    PORTLAND STREETCAR SYSTEM CONCEPT PLAN A Framework for Future Corridor Planning and Alternatives Analysis Adopted September 9, 2009 by Portland City Council This study is partially funded by the US Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration How this document will be used This document will be used to identify and select corridors for future Alternatives Analysis and planning studies as funding becomes available. No funding plan or schedule has been identified for any of the potential streetcar projects. Transit corridors citywide were assessed to determine which corridors have the best potential for future streetcar investment. Corridors that are shown in this document represent the best opportunities for streetcar infrastructure. Detailed corridor by corridor analysis, study and discussions with corridor neighborhoods are necessary to determine if a streetcar investment is warranted. No individual corridor can move forward without a detailed analysis and planning study to address the purpose and need of a streetcar project and to comprehensively evaluate project impacts. The Portland Bureau of Transportation fully complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the ADA Title II, and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities.
