Overview
34
What are Park & Rides?• Station access; bring riders from low density areas with
limited mode options to high capacity stations• Typically adjacent to arterials• Surface lot or structure
Blue Line: Sunset Park & RideEastside: 181st Ave Park & Ride

Goals & Objectives
35
Access:• Station access for all modes• Equitable, efficient, convenient
Cost:• FTA’s cost effectiveness guidelines• Balance Park & Ride costs with other project costs• Responsible use of public resources, land
Context:• Potential trigger of traffic mitigation• Existing land use, density• Future land use, zoning, and community vision

36
Other Considerations:• Visual impact, transit service enhancement,
environmental impact, etc. • Transit oriented development• Respond to public comments from the DEIS• Ongoing engagement with public and partners
Goals & Objectives

Background
37
TriMet Park & Ride Policy (2005)• In 2040 Regional and Town centers, design facilities that minimize
the use of developable urban land
• Prioritize new facilities to provide convenient access for residents of under-served transit areas
• Protect the pedestrian and neighborhood environment and opportunities for Transit-oriented Development (TOD)
• Provide location and design that protects pedestrian and bike traffic safety with a focus on eyes on the street
• Maximize efficiency through the use of partnerships within the public and private sectors

What criteria affects utilization?

Existing Park & Rides
39
Fall 2018 TriMetLicense Plate Survey Data/ Trip Origins
• Park & Ride users typically utilize their closest station
• Predominant use is home-based trips to destinations with restrictive parking policies and costs
![Page 40: Bonita to Bridgeport - TriMettrimet.org/swcorridor/pdf/meetings/cac/SWC-CAC-May-2019.pdfavoiding business impacts) • A few supported 74th Ave, refined (for station at 74th & Upper](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050601/5fa8ee176d4ec86e356f2172/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Lessons Learned
40
• Utilization:• Varies within TriMet’s system• Decreases with facility age• Changes as adjacent land use changes• Is higher where other modes are limited (ex: no
sidewalks, bike lanes)• Is higher at first and last facilities along a MAX line
• Regional modeling tools have become more sophisticated

Considerations
41
Capital Cost• Parking is expensive
Cost Effectiveness• Required metric by the Federal Transit
Administration
Operating Costs / Fees• Existing TriMet Park & Rides are currently free • Operating costs are approx. $1 per day per space• Coordination of neighborhood parking and park &
ride management Includes: engineering,
administration,& contingency

42
Considerations Environmental Impact • Greenhouse gas emissions• Congestion, air pollution & auto collisions

43
Considerations Transit Oriented Development • Surface can evolve into other uses• “Future-proofing” station areas

44
Considerations Ridership and Access • One parking space = Two daily trips • Access for those with mobility needs• Mode of access: Walk – Transfer – Drive• Parking competes with Service Enhancement Plan
Mobility is rapidly changing• Decline in automobile ownership & vehicle miles
traveled (VMT)• Shared ride services (cars, bikes, scooters)• Autonomous vehicles
