| Clackamas County Transportation Survey | Scott Hoelscher introduced himself and the Transportation Survey project that he has been working on. The survey focuses on ways to traverse Clackamas County without using a single occupancy vehicle. One of the primary goals is to get information on existing transportation options and in doing reduce traffic congestion. This project also addresses State requirements. Scott then handed the presentation to Anthony De Simone who defined Transportation Demand Management (TDM) methods and provided examples. He also explained what was and was not in the scope of the project. The results of this project won't tell people how to get around or where not to drive. There will also be no major infrastructure or construction projects as a result of the survey. Scott stepped in to provide TDM examples that the County has already implemented such as bicycle maps, County provided shuttles, and wayfinding signage for both pedestrians and cyclists. Destree and Nathalie then stepped in to share the main category of strategies that the project was pursuing. These included:
The floor was then opened to council members to ask questions of and make recommendations to Scott and his team. Rural options were asked about, but Anthony said that those were outside of the funds supporting this project. Suggestions included informational sessions at community centers, an app and associated training for seniors, training for drivers regarding disabled riders, and more shelter at public transit. |

These include Clackamas Connect, shuttles that provide free final mile rides for TriMet stops, the Mt. Hood Express, a shuttle that travels between Sandy, Government Camp, and Timberline, and Rid Clackamas, a website partnership between local travel agencies so that riders can plan their trips in advance |
