• Abstract:
  To accommodate passing bicyclists and transit riders accessing the new FX2 TriMet bus rapid transit line in Portland, TriMet worked with the City of Portland and broad group of stakeholders and partners to design and implement a new shared use bus platform that incorporates a sidewalk / platform level bike lane. The SE Division corridor was designated a high-crash corridor by PBOT, and the revamped high capacity FX2 line was implemented in coordination with associated safety improvements. Stakeholders and partners included TriMet Committee on Accessible Transit, the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) Bicycle Advisory Committee, the PBOT Pedestrian Advisory Committee, the Oregon Commission for the Blind, and the Oregon Department of Transportation. Transit service began operations in September 2022. This report seeks to assess how well the FX2 shared bus platform is working for transit riders and other platform users, including bicyclists.
