Tri-Met General Manager In Leading Symposium
T ri-M e t General Manager James
. Cowan w ill jo in other U.S. transit
Fficials M arch 13 in leading a national
/mposium on the future o f public tran-
L
The symposium, held by the Sen-
e Subcommittee on Housing and Urban
[fairs in Washington D.C., w ill ad-
rcss issues relevant to the reauthoriza-
on o f the Surface Transportation Act,
'hich expires September 30.
•‘ Ia m pleased to be representing
ortland as a national model fo r for
ffective land use and transportation
lanning,” Cowen said, “ this is a sig-
ificant opportunity to stress-to Con-
rcss and to the publie-thc important
transportation decisions the country w ill
make this year.
In his testimony, Cowen w ill give
a n o vcrvicw o fP o rtla n d ’ sprogrcssovcr
the past 20 years: establishing an urban
growth boundary to discourage urban
sprawl; b uilding a 15-mile light rail
line instead o f a freeway ; and adopting
a Dow ntow n Plan that called for a tran­
sit m all, a parking lid and high-density
development. The results, Cowen says,
have been cleaner air, less crowded
streets and a higher quality o f life.
“ We believe that Portland’ s expe­
rience in developing a workable land
use and transportation plan is a model
that should be emulated in the rcau-
thori/.ation o f the Surface Transporta­
tion A c t,” Cowen said. “ W e also be­
lieve that cities which have had the
fo rsig httop lan for the future, and make
the d iffic u lt land use and zoning deci­
sions accordingly, should be rewarded-
not penalized under the provisions o f
the new Surface Transportation A c t.”
O ffic ia ls from the M etropolitan
Service D istrict and the C ity o f Port­
land w ill also attend the symposium.
