14 Bikes: What are we doing now? 1. Just applied for TGM Grant funds for creation of a TriMet Bicycle Plan. Expected notifications in August. Project Summary: The TriMet Bicycle Plan would result in a final document providing guidance to agency policy and planning efforts regarding bicycle accommodation on-board transit vehicles; appropriate bicycle parking types and quantities at stations and stops; and innovative marketing strategies to ensure usage and acceptance. Process would include public involvement, jurisdictional coordination, and private sector partner outreach. More at:

15 Bikes: What are we doing now? 2. Policy: Preserve access for bikes onboard and parking 3. Maintenance: Take care, make small improvements 4. Strategic Investments: a) FTA Transit Enhancements: Improvements at up to 20 stations 5. New Large Group Facilities: a) East Portland Active Transportation to Transit: Gateway TC b) Developer/City/State Grant: Orenco c) ConnectOregon V: Goose Hollow and Beaverton Creek d) Portland-Milwaukie: Tacoma and Park Ave. elockers at Milwaukie, and lots of covered parking no new keyed lockers

25 Bikes: Onboard Capacity Tests Above: Test for MAX; Right: Test for Bus End Result: Capacity is limited on-board Next Step: Parking, Bike Share, etc.

26 Future: Mobility Hubs?

27 Future: Bike Share as First/Last Mile 1. Municipal (ex: Portland Bike Share, pdxbikeshare.com) City/Region wide Large kiosks 2. Corporate (ex: Intel OBI, Nike, Kaiser) Corporate campus to transit In development 3. Emerging (ex: Kiel s approach, other new technology) Flexible, scalable Can start small

28 Future: Corporate Bike Share Intel OBI pilot: Developing an open source-inspired model for bike sharing Pilot project with 30 bikes Plan to re-launch with more bikes after acceptance Great potential for link to MAX (LRT) stations! instagram.com/openbikeinitiative openbikeinitiative.org

29 Future: Corporate Bike Share Nike Bike Share: Building upon Intel model Pilot project with 250 bikes Great potential for linking employees to MAX light rail service on the work end, taking care of the work part of the first/last mile Employee can then use a personal bike or walk/bus on the home part of the first/last mile
