Metro, with TriMet and the Oregon Department of Transportation, is seeking $2 million in Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Grant planning funds to complete two high capacity transit planning efforts – the Powell-Division Transit and Development Project and the Southwest Corridor Transit Project.
The grant proposes combining HCT improvements planned for the Powell-Division and Southwest corridors to create a continuous “Access to Opportunity Corridor,” connecting underserved neighborhoods to educational and workforce opportunities. Ultimately, this expansive HCT corridor will provide new transportation options for underserved communities and reduce congestion along some of the region’s fastest growing employment areas.
