TriMet (Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District)

You got to get payroll right, right? This is just, this is the thread of like acting first, getting your information later and not having a clean and effective system.

Well, and the question is, is who are these contractors? And then the city also was suing TriMet because of that screwed up streetcar platform down by OMSI because they hired shitty contractors.

Yes.

Who underbid.

The I-5 replacement bridge updated cost estimate has doubled from $7.5 billion in 2023 up to $15.2 billion in 2026.

Extending TriMet MAX light rail about 1.82 miles over I-5 bridge from Portland to Vancouver is estimated to cost about $3.5 billion of total project costs.

Charles Prestrid reports, in the Puget Sound area, the average household in the Sound Transit district now pays over $1,700 per year to Sound Transit in sales tax, motor vehicle excise tax, and property tax.

Prestrid notes, Sound Transit's light rail lines carry less than 1% of all the trips residents take around the region each day, and total transit ridership in the region is lower now than it was 10 years ago.

This de facto standard is why when you head to a new city, it's not hard to use an app on your phone to figure out how transit works there.

This started out from the passions of Tim and Bibiana McHugh, married transit technology managers at TriMet, the transit agency for Portland, Oregon.

They had a deep frustration with how hard it could be to figure out a transit in a new city compared to getting driving instructions at the time.

That displeasure would turn into action in 2005 when they got in touch with Chris Harrelson, an engineer at Google.

It's now 4-0-2.

A pedestrian was pinned under the TriMet bus in downtown Portland during the morning commute.

Emergency crews responded to that crash at 11th and Yamhill just after 8 this morning.

firefighters were able to pull that person out from underneath the bus and then they got them to the hospital.

And then it's pretty jammed up again from Tualatin all the way, in fact, all the way across the Boone Bridge into the Donald Aurora area on I-5 south on this getaway Friday.

205 northbound delays north of Stafford Road off and on up towards the Abernathy Bridge in Oregon City.

And again, for the Max Blue Line, they did get, TriMet officials did get that vehicle off the tracks out near the Ruby Junction stop on the east side near 197th.

But TriMet has put out a notice that until about 6.15 this afternoon, you can experience up to 20-minute delays on the Max Blue Line as they catch up from that earlier trouble.

Light Rail and the IBR Clark County today light rail remains a hot topic.

Free Clark County Councilors are on the CTRAN Board of Directors and would likely be voting on any negotiations and deals with TriMet for operations and maintenance costs if light rail does come to Clark County.

With that said, what is your position on the extension of light rail from Portland to Vancouver via the Interstate Bridge Replacement Program? If you support it, can you share with us why you think it is important for all of Clark County? If you do not support light rail, what would you say to those who want light rail? Silliman, I am 100% against extending light rail into Clark County.

I would vote to oppose it or free Clark County citizens from any commitment to it if given the opportunity.

They also said the combined solution could simplify compliance with cybersecurity standards and directives, including TSA security directives, NIS two, IEC six two four four three, and TS five zero seven zero one.

Cylus customers and partners include Alstom, Hitachi, Nippon Signal, and TriMet.

There is an article in Fox seventeen reporting how a man was struck and killed by a CSX train in Madison, Tennessee, near East Campbell Road.

Metro Nashville Police said the collision occurred shortly after ten AM on Saturday.

Eastbound traffic is gonna be limited to local travel and buses, while the westbound drivers, you'll get detoured to Sandy Boulevard.

Transit riders should check TriMet for any service impacts.

It's time for the KXL sports update, thanks to Sawtooth Roofing.

Just a person

... cleaning TriMet buses and MAX trains, says her lawyer.

All because of a slip.

On the sixth day of trial this week, Fred Meyer and Torres settled for an undisclosed amount.
