The current TriMet Board of Directors is continuing to lie to the media, even to The Oregonian, and continues to get away with it! It is now the time to expose this board.
BRUCE WARNER
Bruce stated to The Oregonian that he rides public transit 5-8 times a week and has moved to Hillsboro. His house is close to Orenco/NW 231st MAX station, but I doubt he wants to walk the 3/4 of a mile to get to the MAX station. If you do the calculations, 5-8 times a week means you ride it once a day, one way. It’s evident he doesn’t live along a bus line, since he is all for the MAX and against the buses.
REGULAR RIDER: NO
TIFFANY SWEITZER
Sweitzer admitted that she rides the TriMet very little, and usually rides the Portland Streetcar. Of course, the Portland Streetcar is run by the CITY, not TriMet.
REGULAR RIDER: NO
STEVE CLARK HAS RESIGNED
DR. T ALLEN BETHEL
Dr. Bethel admitted to The Oregonian that he rides TriMet “Occasionally”.
REGULAR RIDER: NO
CONSUELO SARAGOZA
She admitted that her frequency on TriMet is “Weekly or less.” Needless to say, she has other modes of transportation.
REGULAR RIDER: NO
TRAVIS STOVALL
Needless to say, Travis admitted that he is an “Infrequent rider due to the nature of [his] business”. He rides MAX the most, which is apparent since more MAX is getting built while bus lines are getting put on the chopping block.
REGULAR RIDER: NO
CRAIG PROSSER
Craig admitted that he rides TriMet “about once a month to attend Board meetings in downtown Portland and other meetings in the Lloyd District.” Need I say anything more?
REGULAR RIDER: NO
PLEASE JOIN ME TO PROTEST THIS BOARD, PURSUANT TO ORS 267.090 (2).
