Metro invites you to a sneak preview of our region's transit future. The popcorn's on us.
Monday, Dec. 1, noon to 1 p.m.
Clinton Street Theater
2522 SE Clinton St., Portland
The Powell-Division Transit and Development Project is studying the region's first bus rapid transit line, which will bring faster, more reliable transit service to a corridor that really needs it.
Riders get set to board an SDX bus rapid transit bus at the Bonneville Transit Center in Las Vegas. Raised curbs make boarding speedy.
Bus rapid transit on Powell-Division will save riders time, make transit more comfortable, and connect places we all care about. It will go from downtown Portland and Gresham, linking businesses, educational institutions and thousands of residences in a diverse and growing area. Service could begin as soon as 2020.
But bus rapid transit doesn't look the same everywhere. There are multiple choices to consider. How will it fit with existing transportation facilities? What could stations look like? What will the experience be like for riders? How might it serve surrounding neighborhoods and support other ways of getting around?
On Monday, Dec. 1 at the unique Clinton Street Theater, we'll explore examples of bus rapid transit from around the country to see what it could look like here -- in the street, at the stations and on board the vehicles. We'll also highlight existing transit facilities in the region that can help illustrate options for the new line.
Project staff from Metro and TriMet will be on hand to answer your questions and hear your ideas about bus rapid transit.
