Since news came out about TriMet's proposed new bond, there has been much confusion and misunderstanding what this bond would be used for. Basically it is for Improving Transit Services and Accessibility for Elderly and People with Disabilities.
The proposal is to continue the current bonds, which were used to fund the Westside Light Rail expansion and dedicate the revenue to remove environmental barriers that prevent the elderly and people with disabilities from riding fixed-route bus and MAX. This includes transit stops (curb cuts, sidewalks, shelters, benches, lighting, hand and resting rails, etc), LIFT buses with an improved dispatch system and new low-floor buses that have automated stop announcements, air conditioning, etc.
