W h a t Are Your
Wishes?
We're try ing to figure out what your
transportation system will be like in the
next five years. There are choices and
trade-offs, and we would like your help
in making the decisions.
We can't guarantee that your wishes
will come true. But we do want to know
what you want your transit system to do
I
r
for the Portland metro area.
Tell Us Where To Go.
My Tri-Met Wish List
Community Workshops
And when to go. where to stop, how to get there, etc. We
want to put resources where they do the most good for the most
people. This means establishing region-wide priorities, which
begin by listening to your transit priorities.
Why do we ask. you ask? Our job is to make sure you get
around quickly and easily. We want to provide you more
attractive, efficient travel choices, so you don t have to drive
everywhere. To do that, we have to know what you need and
Tell us what you think
should be Tri-Met's highest
priorities. Here's how you
do it.
1. Assume you have 10
bundles of money.
2. Distribute these 10
to the
items listed here by placing the
number of dollars to the items
you think are most important.
W hat’s The Big Deal?
Do Something!
We re not kidding when we say we want to hear from you.
You have three options:
] t Do nothing and hope that someone else cares enough to get
involved.
Take 2 minutes to do the "Wish List " and mail it
or FAX it to us.
I°in us at an upcoming community work
shop. Several are scheduled, and you can take the bus or MAX.

A great transit system isn’t the only answer to the future
livability of this area. But it's an important part of the answer.
There will be 500.000 more people living in the metro area
within 20 years. That means another 41.000 cars added to
today's rush hour congestion. Some experts predict that
Portland area traffic will soon be as bad as Seattle's.
Traffic congestion and air pollution aren't inevitable parts of
growth. They're the result of careless planning. Right now
we're planning for the future. That's where you come in. It will
be a lot easier if you tell us ahead of time what we can do to
make Tri-Met a smart choice for you.
