Beyond the Bike Hook
Portland State University
Center for Transportation Studies
Winter 2011 Transportation Seminar Series
Speaker: Colin Maher, TriMet
Topic: Beyond the Bike Hook: Linking Bicycles and Transit
Abstract: While TriMet and other transit agencies serve many commuters by having racks for bikes on trains and buses, large bike parking facilities in global capitals of urban bicycling provide the key link between bikes and transit. Following the lead of European and Asian cities, the Portland region is starting to develop a network of bike-transit facilities; TriMet is piloting smart bike parking technology in the form of electronic bike lockers and "Bike & Rides". This presentation discusses the background and planning for bike-transit integration in the region and shares insights into bike-transit travel patterns, habits, and market segmentation gained from recent rider surveys.

Thanks for posting this, it's hard to keep track of all the different lectures/meetings/hearings when they're all sponsored by different entities.

An article at Metro about public meetings concerning the LO Streetcar. I was pleasantly surprised--the article goes into some detail about the commentary pro and con. Some of the more technical issues weren't covered, such as the legitimate concerns about performance were the Macadam routings chosen, but an interesting read.
