Walk/Wheel to Transit with Old Trip Planner (ride.trimet.org)

Old trip planner’s suggested walking path

Steep, high traffic road with no sidewalk or shoulder

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

3

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
