1 1 TriMet Core Capacity Concepts TriMet Board January 25,

2 2 Regional Growth 400,000 more people and 260,000 more jobs in less than 20 years Concentrated in Regional Centers, Town Centers, Station Areas, and Main Streets $13.1 billion worth of development in station areas since decision to build 5% of the area (MAX station areas) had 39% of all the housing units developed on it since the decision to build each line 2

8 Busy Trains 8 8

9 9 Reliability and Capacity When uneven headways occur, some trips are extra busy Original MAX system design started about 35 years ago. Growth forces systems to mature and adapt. We re doing our part on the operations side, but we can seek help with trackwork, switches, signals, junctions, stations and other infrastructure 9

10 Blue Line Westbound is At Capacity within 5 years according to FTA Core Capacity Criteria 10 Expo Center Airport PM Peak Blue Line 5.6 sq ft/ psgr Union Station Rose Quarter Gateway Hillsboro Pioneer Square Gresham PSU Beaverton Clackamas Town Center Park Ave FTA Threshold: 5.7 sq ft/psgr or less = at capacity within 5 years 5.6 sq ft/psgr = medium rating for project need 10

11 11 Two Different Markets 1. Less busy Red Line trains serve as far as Beaverton TC (3 stations on westside) 2. Heavily loaded Blue Line trains serve Silicon Forest and Hillsboro (14 additional stations beyond Beaverton TC) Expo Center Airport Union Station Rose Quarter Gateway Hillsboro Pioneer Square Gresham PSU Beaverton Clackamas Town Center Park Ave 11

15 15 Gateway Double-Track & Station Concept Add second track New double-track New station platform with walkway to Blue/Green station and bus transfers Removes conflicts in both directions 15

16 16 Another Gateway Option for Discussion New 2nd-track Removes conflicts in both directions 16

23 23 Rose Quarter/Steel Bridge Process Multiple options Long-term conceptual analysis underway 23

24 24 Idealized Concept for Rose Quarter/Steel Bridge Separate the lines minimize conflicts and maximize the capacity Yellow completely separate from Blue/Red Consider reconfiguring RQ station to allow Green Line to separate before RQ station 24

Separated tracks at Steel Bridge/RQ would mean more capacity for Westside Blue Line and other lines (e.g., Yellow would no longer have any impact on Blue Line and Green Line impact would be reduced) Expo Ctr Rose Quarter 4-track Bridge PSU 5:06 PM Yellow 5:25 PM 5:26 PM 5:41 PM Green 5:33 PM 5:34 PM 5:21 PM Yellow 5:40 PM 5:41 PM Many new possible windows for more trains open up Green 5:48 PM 5:49 PM 26
