Transit + Active Transportation
1. Transit + AT = Natural complements to each other
2. Active transportation excels at short trips and
connections to transit
3. Biking and walking are not competitors to transit;
We are all is this together

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
biggest opportunities
• Provides focus amidst great
need throughout the region

Over 6,500 transit stops total
![Page 7: Maximizing Biking and Walking Access to Transit](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5483ee08b4af9f910d8b49d1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
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
• Also working to refine this
analysis and develop a
complementary corridor

1. Just awarded a state funded TGM Grant for creation of a
TriMet Bicycle Plan. Expected July ’15 – June ‘16.
Project Summary:
The TriMet Bicycle Plan would result in a final document providing
guidance to agency policy and planning efforts regarding bicycle
accommodation on-board transit vehicles; appropriate bicycle
parking types and quantities at stations and stops; and innovative
marketing strategies to ensure usage and acceptance.
Process would include public involvement, jurisdictional coordination,
and private sector partner outreach.

GoPoint Summary:
Help create a balanced
suburban transportation
system by branding,
promoting, and managing a
network of mobility hubs that
use technology to integrate
public and private
transportation options.

1. Municipal (ex: Portland Bike Share,
pdxbikeshare.com)
• City/Region wide
• Large kiosks
Future: Bike Share as First/Last Mile
2. Corporate (ex: Intel OBI, Nike, Kaiser)
• Corporate campus to
transit
• In development
3. Emerging (ex: Kiel’s approach,
other new technology)
• Flexible, scalable
• Can start small
![Page 38: Maximizing Biking and Walking Access to Transit](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5483ee08b4af9f910d8b49d1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Future: Corporate Bike Share
• Intel OBI pilot: • Developing an open
source-inspired model for
bike sharing
• Pilot project with 30 bikes
• Plan to re-launch with more
bikes after acceptance
• Great potential for link to
MAX (LRT) stations!

Future: Corporate Bike Share
• Nike Bike Share: • Building upon Intel model
• Pilot project with 250 bikes
• Great potential for linking
employees to MAX light rail service
on the work end, taking care of the
work part of the “first/last mile”
• Employee can then use a personal
bike or walk/bus on the home part
of the “first/last mile”
![Page 40: Maximizing Biking and Walking Access to Transit](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5483ee08b4af9f910d8b49d1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Future: Corporate Bike Share
• Kaiser e-bike pilot: • Metro RTO grant award to
acquire, deploy, and study
usage patterns of 30 folding
e-bikes to 180 employees at
three work sites
• Test user acceptance of
e-bikes as a first/last mile
commuting solution
• Employee would have the
bike for up to 3 months Bike model selected for project:

“Participants in the study may use the
e-bikes however they wish, with the
expectation they will be used as a
first/last mile commuting solution for
longer trips.”
“For example, instead of driving to
work, participants could take public
transportation such as the MAX
Light Rail, using the e-bikes to get
from home or work to the transit
stop.”
