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.
