  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Contracting for Social Service Client Transportation: Multnomah County, Oregon, Final Report Author: Dueker, Kenneth, David, Judy S. Year: 1987 The Multnomah County Aging Services Division (ASD) and the tri-county developmentally disabled programs provide transportation services for their elderly and handicapped clients primarily by contracting with TRI-MET, the regional transit district. This system is strained because the demands for transportation services are increasing, the cost of contracted services exceeds the county's transportation funds, the quality of service does not meet all clients' needs, and TRI-MET has been spending less of its primary funding sources on elderly and handicapped transportation. The county therefore contracted with the Center for Urban Studies of Portland State University, to examine the current provision of transportation services and to make recommendations for future actions.

Services provided were shown in relationship to the Regional Travel Options program 5-Year Strategic Plan. The level of participation, satisfaction and the use of alternative travel options were measured where possible. Finally, the extent to which programs supported RTO objectives and connections to other regional goals was assessed. Results included auto-trip reductions. Recommendations for improving data collection were made. Each RTO-partner program is detailed individually in the appendices.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A Technology Roadmap for Autonomous Bus Service in the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) Author: Romanski, Bobby, Sherman, Dave, Alassaf, Deemah, Nayame, Jacqueline, Rosenthal, Janet Year: 2017 Organizations use Technology Roadmapping (TRM) to discover a critical path of action to pursue in their research and development of future technologies and products. This provides a technology roadmap for creating autonomous bus service in the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) . A review of related literature and the essential market drivers, products, and technologies review were researched and integrated into this technology roadmap, inferring that autonomous bus service be made available in the year 2042 while continuously enhancing Intelligent Transportation Systems and its related products from the year 2018. The QFD (Quality Function Deployment) method was used to discover and evaluate relationships between market drivers, products and technologies.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Parking Infrastructure: A Constraint on or Opportunity for Urban Redevelopment? Author: Chester, Mikhail Year: 2016 Many cities have adopted minimum parking requirements, but we have relatively poor information about how parking infrastructure has grown. In this research, using building and roadway growth models, we estimate how parking has grown in Los Angeles County from 1900 to 2010, and how parking infrastructure evolves, affects urban form, and relates to changes in automobile travel. We find that since 1975, the ratio of residential offstreet parking spaces to automobiles in Los Angeles County is close to 1.0 and the greatest density of parking spaces is in the urban core. Most new growth in parking occurs outside of the core. 14% of incorporated land in Los Angeles County is committed to parking. Uncertainty in our space inventory is attributed to our building growth model, onstreet space length, and the assumption that parking spaces were created as per the requirements. The continued use of minimum parking requirements is likely to encourage automobile use at a time when metropolitan areas are actively seeking to manage congestion and increase transit use, biking, and walking. Widely discussed ways to reform parking policies may be less than effective if planners do not consider the remaining incentives to auto use created by the existing parking infrastructure. Planners should encourage the conversion of existing parking facilities to alternative uses. Title: Parking Infrastructure: A Constraint on or Opportunity for Urban Redevelopment?

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Economic Effects of Tri-Met's Operating and Capital Expenditures FY 1983 on the Portland Metropolitan Economy Author: Strathman, James G., Rao, Rishinath L. Year: 1983 A summary of the transit-related benefits and an assessment of the economic effects of Tri-Met's operating and capital expenditures was performed. The economic effects of the agency's expenditures were derived using a 24-sector input-output model of the four county Portland SMSA economy. Input output analysis is frequently used for the purpose of impact assessment because it provides exceptionally detailed estimates of interindustry activity, employment and income that result from agency/project related expenditures. The primary data and background information needed to perform this analysis were provided by the Tri-Met Transit Planning and Development Office.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Governing and Managing Multi-Modal Transit Agencies in a Multicentric era Author: Adler, Sy, Edner, Sheldon Year: 1988 We explore the dynamics of governing and managing multi-modal regional transit agencies through a case study of the Tri-County Metropolitan Transit District (Tri-Met), which provides bus and rail transit services to the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area (see map). Along with other similarly constituted firms in the United States transit industry, Tri-Met confronts the challenge of providing service in a geopolitical context that is quite different than when the agency was created. The critical new element in Tri-Met's operating environment is the emergence of several suburban business centers that effectively compete with the Portland central business district (CBD), and are seeking transit investments that will facilitate locally-oriented economic growth.
