Future of Bike Access to Transit
• More people living in the region? Yes
• Within biking distance of transit? Yes
• More bikes on the road? Yes
• More capacity on-board buses? Maybe
• More capacity on-board MAX and WES (or attached to it)?
Probably
Not

Future of Bike Access to Transit
• More use of folding bikes? Maybe
• More bike parking at stations? Hopefully
• More use of station bikes? Yes !!
• Other suggestions?Discussion to follow . . . . .

Pedestrian Network Analysis
Overview:• We need safer and more
comfortable access to transit
• This effort helps us to identify areas where access improvements have the greatest need and the highest opportunities
• Provides focus amidst great need throughout the region
![Page 17: Public Transit + Active Transportation: A network greater than the sum of its parts - Jeff Owen's presentation at OATS 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54bb3cd54a7959fd798b45c1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pedestrian Network Analysis
Purpose and Goals:• Prioritize Safety• Cost-effectively providing
service• Foster environmental
stewardship• Create great places

Pedestrian Network Analysis
Overview of Process:• Big service area with lots of transit
stops
1. Base Analysis (land use, ridership, destinations)
2. Overlay Analysis(deficiencies and
opportunities)
3. Composite Scores (look for clusters, then focus areas)

Pedestrian Network Analysis
Partners are Key to this process
Ongoing Efforts:• Initial effort complete, but
we are still working hard to find funding for projects around the region

Access Projects
• We have had successes
• But there is still so much to be done• 1500 stops do not
have complete sidewalks
![Page 31: Public Transit + Active Transportation: A network greater than the sum of its parts - Jeff Owen's presentation at OATS 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54bb3cd54a7959fd798b45c1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Future of Walk Access to Transit
• More people living in the region? Yes
• Within walking distance of transit? Most
• Will the population age? Yes
• More money for sidewalks? Maybe
• More money for crossings?
No• Can TriMet build it all?
Maybe
![Page 32: Public Transit + Active Transportation: A network greater than the sum of its parts - Jeff Owen's presentation at OATS 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051611/54bb3cd54a7959fd798b45c1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Future of Walk Access to Transit
• More local and regional leaders prioritize access improvements?
Hopefully
• Despite desires still for increased vehicle capacity, can we prioritize safe and short crossings?
Hopefully
• Other suggestions?Discussion to follow . . . . .
