The main project under consideration is W estside-Hillsboro
Light Rail. Tri-M et received federal approval in September
1992 to design and construct the W estside rail project from
downtown Portland to SW 185th Avenue in W ashington
County. The Federal Transit Administration and Tri-M et are
currently negotiating an agreement am endm ent to extend
the rail line from SW 185th into downtown Hillsboro by Fall
1998.
Fiscal year 1995 funds requested in this grant application for
continuation of the rail project include $90,350,000 in federal
assistance under Section 3, and $21,128,480 under Section
9 of the Federal Transit Act; and $11,000,000 in regional
funding available through the ISTEA Surface Transportation

platform s must be increased by about two inches. Total
funding of $8,500,000 ($7,650,000 federal; $850,000 local
