TriMet is taking public comments in accordance with 49
CFR 37.7 regarding its intent to request a finding of
equivalent facilitation (an alternative design or technolo-
gy which provides substantially equivalent or greater
access) for an alternate method of compliance with 49
CFR 38.83(c)(4), which requires each side of a light rail
vehicle bridge plate to have barriers at least two inches
high. In 1994, the Federal Transit Administration issued
a finding of equivalent facilitation allowing all bridge
plates on TriMet light rail vehicles to be designed and
constructed without side barriers. TriMet intends to
request that it be allowed to continue constructing bridge
plates without side barriers. Any interested party may
appear at the hearing and present public comments on
this issue.
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE
Persons who need sign language interpretation or other
communication aids should contact TriMet Community
Affairs 503-962-2150, TTY 503-962-8058, at least 48

ronment, traffic flow and adjacent communities; 5) utiliz-
ing innovative value engineering; 6) implementing sus-
