Part 3: Project InformationThe request for funding will be evaluated and scored based on answers in this section; 100 possible points.PROJECT NAME

Gateway Transit Center Bike & Ride SCORE1. Project description

a. Indicate the type of work envisioned (i.e., Transit, TDM, Bicycle and Pedestrian) and (10 points)

The facility will be interoperable with existing TriMet Bike & Ride facilities in the region aswell as those under construction. TriMet will be responsible for maintenance andadministration.

b. Amount of request:........................................................... $450,000.002. Explain how the project meets each of the program criterion categories in Part G of the directions:

a. Connectivity, integration and overall benefit to the transportation system. (20 points)Please limit your response to 500 words or less:

The Gateway TC Bike & Ride would provide a multi-modal link between regionaltransportation facilities: the I-205 multi-use path and the Gateway/NE 99th Ave transitcenter, maximizing the region's investment in both the multi-use path and transit networks.The transit center is served by three MAX light rail lines and six bus lines: 15-Belmont/NW23rd, 19-Woodstock/Glisan, 22-Parkrose, 23-San Rafael, 24-Fremont, and 25-Glisan/Rockwood bus lines. With the existing Park & Ride facility at capacity, building bikeparking is a more cost-effective way of improving access to the station than expandingstructured parking garages.The introduction of a secure bicycle parking facility enhances the bicycle-transit connectionby giving all Gateway transit center users an opportunity to securely store their bicycle with24 hour a day access. Unlike assigned rentable bicycle lockers, Bike & Ride facilities are

available to anyone who purchases an access card. Compared to assigned parkingsystems, a Bike & Ride can serve 5 to 7 times more cyclists each year. Security measuresinclude lighting, video surveillance, and key card access.

b. Sustainability. Please limit your response to 500 words or less: (20 points)

The Gateway TC Bike & Ride improves sustainability by providing alternatives to drivingusing minimal space and without creating additional impervious surface area. The Bike &

Ride will occupy approximately 850 sq ft, about 10% of the area it would take for an equalamount of surface car parking. It will be built on existing hardscape and incorporatestormwater treatment for runoff. Rather than charging a membership fee, dynamic pay-per-hour pricing will fund the operation of the facility at minimal cost to users without impacting

at peak load points, where trains are simply too crowded to grow bike capacity at peakhours when most want to travel. Although buses and trains accommodate bicycles,passenger capacity limits the number of bicycles that can be transported onboard. Asshown by European and Asian transportation systems, secure bike parking optionsmaximize the investment in both modes.

Bike & Ride access cards can be used at TriMet's other existing and planned Bike & Ridefacilities, including the Sunset Transit Center, Beaverton Transit Center (opening early2011), and Gresham Central Transit Center (opening early 2011). This inter-operablesystem also creates opportunities for users to store a bike at their destination station inorder to travel between station and ultimate destination. This 'station bike' options transitusers an affordable, efficient, and healthy transportation solution to their 'last mile' problem.Currently, 15% of TriMet bike locker renters store a station bike a bike left overnight atthe station and used to ride from transit to work or school. Since passenger loads limit

capacity for transporting bikes on transit, last mile gaps can be bridged by encouragingmore passengers to use a station bike.

3. Identify and quantify project benefits and costs: (10 points)

The Gateway TC Bike & Ride will leverage existing investments in both the transit and bicyclenetwork. An accessible and visible Bike & Ride provides an attractive parking alternative tobringing bikes on-board, alleviate concerns regarding theft, and increases potential ridership radius

by two miles, or a 10 minute bicycle ride. Gateway is one of the busiest transit centers in the regionwith 7,790 passenger boardings each day (bus + MAX combined).Total project cost: $450,000Potential reduction in VMT each year: 251,000 milesPotential total annual savings from reduced VMT: $339,000See attached Project Benefit Calculations.
