Hatfield School of Government. Center for Public Service Year: 2016 In April 2015, Metro and community partner 1000 Friends of Oregon received the Oregon Innovation Award from the Center for Public Service at Portland State University to develop an approach for better connecting historically underrepresented communities* to Metro’s decision-making processes. The award provided 1,000 hours of research, facilitation and consulting services from a Hatfield Resident Fellow and Center for Public Service staff. Over the course of seven months, sixty-plus representatives from Metro, 1000 Friends, CPS and many other local partners and organizations came to the table to contribute their time and expertise to the innovation effort. See page 23 for a complete list of contributors. These recommendations reflect the outcomes of this participatory process and the actions it generated.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Dynamic Assignment Models and their Application in the Portland Metro Region Author: Bosa, Peter G. Year: 2017 Metro's Research and Modeling Services Program is responsible for the development, maintenance, and application of travel demand models for application in long-range planning efforts in the Portland metropolitan region. Representation of traffic—both vehicular and transit—plays an integral role in the travel demand modeling process. Complex software is required to assign vehicles and transit users to transportation networks to determine viable options available to travelers, costs associated with those options, and sets of routes by which travelers might navigate their trips. Metro's current static assignment model has traditionally sufficed for use with Metro's four-step travel demand model. However, static assignments have well-documented limitations that preclude the ability of the analyst to answer complex policy questions, especially those related to greenhouse gas emissions, congestion, and transportation network reliability. In addition, static assignments cannot fulfill a need for small-duration travel time increments required by the next generation activity-based models. The shortcomings of the static assignment necessitates Metro’s development and application of regional dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) models. The resolution of these models allows for continuous modeling of traffic over an analysis period, which allows the analyst to capture temporally-based traffic events such as the building and dissipation of queues, measurement of the duration of congestion, and high fidelity speed profiles for use in emissions analysis. This presentation will focus on why Metro has developed a DTA, how DTA compares with other models—specifically macro-scale static assignments and micro-simulations—and how DTA has been applied in Metro's modeling process.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Trolley Trail: An Assessment of Opportunities and Constraints Author: Bell, Jennifer, Healy, Michele, Burnett, Stacy, Park, Beth, Shively, Jennifer Year: 2002 In January 2002, Metro Regional Parks and Greenspaces (Metro) and North Clackamas Parks and Recreation District (NCPRD) contacted Portland State University's Planning Workshop class for assistance with a regional trail planning project. Metro is the regional government for the Portland metropolitan area. Within Metro, the Regional Parks and Greenspaces staff administers the parks, open space, natural area, trails and greenways acquisition program for the citizens of the region. NCPRD is a special service district of Clackamas County that provides park and recreation services to communities in the northern portion of the county. When the project was presented to the workshop class, Metro and NCPRD were beginning to plan for the conversion of a former streetcar right ..of-way into a multi-use trail in North Clackamas County. Both agencies were interested in having a student group assist with the early phases of trail planning. In response to this interest, the workshop team completed a work plan detailing tasks and timelines for the workshop project. A part of the work plan was a problem statement that would guide the team's work: What are the opportunities and constraints that should guide the design and development of the Trolley Trail? This report presents the workshop team's findings of opportunities and constraints. This report will assist Metro and NCPRD in future trail planning phases. Itwillalso assist hired professional consultants who will lead future planning and design efforts. The report is divided into three sections for easy reference.
