Presentation Notes
Equity - TriMet’s services and business opportunities are open to everyone in our community. TriMet operates with fairness and equity for all. TriMet complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and also strives to ensure that the decisions of where and when to serve are made through an equity lens, considering the needs of low-income populations, people of color, people with disabilities, and other communities of concern. Equity is a lens through which the other following considerations should be considered. Demand - Service should respond to changes in demand for mobility and access via transit. Productivity – Productivity (measured in boarding rides per vehicle hour) measures the cost-effectiveness of the service provided. Productivity should be understood in the context of the need to provide service across the district as well as challenges such as last-mile connections or partnering with other agencies or service providers to meet the needs of specific areas with comparatively lower demand. Connections - Connections to jobs, to school, and other high priority places for communities. These can include key locations such as job centers, schools, colleges, training centers, and neighborhood housing. Growth – Growth in population and employment in various parts of the region should help inform service decisions and service should support the needs of this growth.

Equity Analysis Conclusions
1. The vast majority of improvements are on lines with average-or-above minority and low-income populations in their service areas. As a result, a greater share of the region’s minority and low-income populations stand to benefit as compared to non-minority and higher income populations. Addresses service changes flagged for potential inequitable
distribution of benefits.
2. Found no disproportionate and adverse effects from the one major service reduction (Line 152). Proposed changes do reduce access to some jobs in North Clackamas County while reducing travel time and increasing frequency to others.
3. Proposal creates new access to nearly 40,000 low/medium wage jobs, and improves access to over 230,000 low/medium wage jobs.
