Gain project proposal
1. Walk/Wheel to Transit with
Old Trip Planner
(ride.trimet.org)
Steep, high traffic road with
no sidewalk or shoulder
Old trip planner’s
suggested walking path
1
2. Walk/Wheel to Transit with
New Trip Planner
(rtp.trimet.org)
More detailed itinerary and walking path
Routes to Bus 54 instead of Bus 51 for
shorter more direct walking path
2
3. Ideal Curb Cut and Sidewalk Mapping
108,000 blocks/streets in TriMet service area
with 2 sidewalks & 4 curb cuts per block
Conservative assumption of 80% sidewalk
coverage would entail mapping 172,800
blocks of sidewalk and 345,600 curb cuts
Grant of $9,600 - strategy is not a viable
option
Maintaining this dataset is a significant task
Solution – focus on transit stops
Process Benefits
1. Map walkways near transit stops 1. Safer and more detailed itineraries around stops
2. Verify and enhance stop information 2. Enhanced stop amenity information
3. Assign accessibility ratings to stops 3. Users will be directed to stops with better

accessibility
4. Proposed Stop Accessibility Ratings
Category 0 - only sign/pole Category 1 – plus sidewalks & curbcuts in
area
Category 2 – plus ADA landing Category 3 – plus traffic signals, lighting,
pad, seating/bench, shelter

Notas del editor
Since these ratings will be based on TriMet’s stop amenity inventory dataset which already has a maintainer the ratings will be automatically updated and will not require any maintenance of their own
