Others Present: N/A. 1. CALL TO ORDER Chair Hendrickson called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm. The meeting was held at the Tigard Library in the 2nd floor conference room with a hybrid MS Teams option. 2. CONSIDER MINUTES The April 2, 2025, meeting Minutes were unanimously approved. 3. PUBLIC COMMENT – N/A 4. POST-CRASH PROCESS DISCUSSION Sergeant Doughty noted that the fatality on Gaarde involved an impaired and speeding driver that crashed into the house. He gave a high-level overview of investigations and noted that Tigard partners with Washington County and other agencies in the county and, for crashes involving a serious injury or fatality, the Crash Analysis Reconstruction Team (CART). Cameras and drones are used to collect the data and create a model of the scene. Though the length of time for each investigation varies, they normally take months to a year to complete. To help with the investigation data from the vehicle computer can be accessed with a search warrant. He also noted that other locations are under consideration for red light and speed cameras. They are especially helpful in areas where an officer is unable to be placed such as along Hwy. 99W. 5. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Joe Wisniewski shared a presentation on the Proposed Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan that included The CIP Process – From Idea to Asset, Where the Money Comes From, Where the Money Goes, General Updates, System Planning & SDC Analysis Schedule, What We Get For Our Investment – Transportation, and Project Related Issues. He noted there is a lot of uncertainty with federal grants, included those that already awarded for projects currently under construction. The contingency has been raised to 40% for most new projects due to increased supply costs, but the rate of increase has slowed for some items. TTAC members voiced strong support for the CIP Transportation Projects and authorized Chair signature on a letter recommending budget approval to Council. TIGARD TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE May 7, 2025 Page 2 of 2 6. OREGON ACTIVE TRANSPORT. CONFERENCE This item was postponed due to time constraints. 7. AUGUST TOUR DISCUSSION Tiffany noted the topic will be discussed in more detail at the June meeting with TCAC, but she shared her idea of three modes of transportation to reach the destination in the Tigard Triangle – bicycling, public transit, and a vehicle. That will help to highlight transportation between the two TIF Districts. 8. MOTHERLOAD MAY 18th SHOWING The free showing will take place May 18, 2025, in the Tigard Library Burgess Community room and is open to the public. 9. NON-AGENDA ITEMS A. Shawne shared a personal video filmed while he was riding his cargo bike. It showed a driver nearly colliding with him when they immediately made a right turn after passing him. He noted a protected bike lane would not have alleviated the incident as it was driver error. 10.

CALL TO ORDER Chair Hendrickson called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm. The meeting was held in Town Hall with a hybrid MS Teams option. 2. INTRODUCTIONS Brief introductions were given. 3. PUBLIC COMMENT – N/A 4. MICROTRANSIT PILOT PROJECT Reza Farhoodi and John Mira gave a brief presentation that included Background, Ride Connection Overview, What is Microtransit, Key Project Elements, Project Schedule, and Public Comment Opportunity. Reza noted the service model has not been used in the Portland area much but has been used extensively elsewhere. Reza noted that while this service model has seen limited use in the Portland area, it has been widely implemented in other regions. Washington County serves as a Public Transportation Service Provider and prepares a Transit Development Plan every two years. Through this process they identified areas with unmet transit needs. John provided an overview of the Ride Connection shuttle services. The pilot is grant funded and expected to launch in early 2026 ending in April 2027 unless additional funding is available. It will operate as an on-demand service, allowing riders to schedule trips via phone or a mobile app. They are seeking public feedback and data from the pilot will guide the program. Two vans with seating for eight were purchased for the pilot. Beaverton School District has limited service for after school programs and students at Mountainside High School are expected to utilize the program. Performance metrics will be developed. TIGARD TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE TOWN CENTER ADVISORY COMMISSION June 4, 2025 Page 2 of 2 5. RAILS SYSTEM PLAN UPDATE Courtney and Rick shared a presentation that included Tigard Trail System Plan, 10-Minute Walk to a Trail, Existing Trail System Inventory, Trail Safety, Trail Maintenance, Trail Funding, and Next Steps. Pilot programs for trail lighting and a park ranger are underway. Trail maintenance outside of parks does not have a dedicated source of funding. A new trail maintenance program is proposed with a $500,000 yearly budget and an implementation plan of $2.5 million over five years. Courtney discussed potential options for the trail funding. The issue of a new trail maintenance funding plan will go before Council on July 1, 2025. Courtney asked if there was interest in advocating for finding and implementing a new trail maintenance program to Council. A majority of members from both TTAC and TCAC expressed support for a letter of endorsement to be issued by their respective Chair and Vice Chair. 6. E-GO PROJECT UPDATE In the interest of time this topic was briefly discussed as a non-agenda item. 7. 72nd AVE PRE-DESIGN PROJECT UPDATE Tiffany, Courtney, and Susan briefly shared a presentation that included Project Overview and Goals, Public Involvement, Design Elements, and Next Steps. 8. NON-AGENDA ITEMS A. Tiffany noted that in lieu of am August meeting, TTAC members will join TCAC members on August 13 for a tour utilizing biking, public transit, and carpools to highlight some of the challenges of travelling between the downtown and Triangle areas. Initial itinerary includes meeting in the Triangle at the conclusion to discuss challenges faced with each mode and possibly a discussion about the E-GO project. A survey link will be sent to solicit other ideas for locations of intertest to be visited. B. In response to a question, Courtney noted that ODOT used cost savings from the curb and sidewalk projects to repave a portion of Hall Blvd., which resulted in recent striping being covered. C. Richard asked about the bike lanes near Sattler, noting that the final painted lane appears narrower than what was initially indicated by the temporary markings. Courtney will follow up, but believes the markings were intended as a rough guide and may not have been accurately placed. D. Sean shared with TTAC members the purchase of the former Regal Cinemas property which will primarily be used for park space. Other uses will be discussed by the TCAC during the next couple meetings. 9. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m. Joe Patton, TTAC Meeting Secretary Michael Hendrickson, Chair
