Portland area: What should our bus network look like? Where should the buses go, and how often? Now is your chance to have a big impact on that question. Pls RT. Thread ... 1/
Our firm has been working with @trimet to sketch a concept for what the network might look like once the agency's staffing problems are resolved. It's about 10% more service than 2019, over 30% more than now. 2/
There are two big goals: Ridership and Equity. That means more service to high ridership places, and more service focused on areas of low income or marginalized populations. 3/
But have we gotten the balance right? Have we turned the dial far enough toward equity, or too far? We have no idea. You need to tell us. 4/
You can find the service concept map and description here, along with a survey where you can express your view. But keep reading this thread, too ... 5/ trimet.org
If you're interested in how the concept affects a particular area, or you want to understand why the map looks as it does, you'll want this document: trimet.org 6/
If you want to understand better what we mean by "turning the dial toward equity," and why this is a hard question, I explain that here ... 7/ humantransit.org
Once you've had a look, go to trimet.org and take the survey. Do this by 10/31! 8/
Finally, don't just tell us what you don't like. If you seem something you like in the concept, you need to tell us that. Otherwise that thing you like might not make it into the final plan. 9/
