Supervisor making sure that riders who missed Line 12 to Tigard & therefore last Line 76 to Tualatin get taken care of
This is something Erik argues would never happen
And I should be clear it sounds like the riders weren't able to get on the Line 12 bus they needed for some reason

This is so sweet, too bad Trimet doesn't do anything about our UNSAFE CRAPPY EQUIPMENT!
Woman badly hurt by NJ Transit bus wins $7.85M in lawsuit settlement
Mercedes Perez can't say what she thinks of the settlement, however,
because the 59-year-old woman suffered brain damage from the accident in
Paterson and cannot speak after sepsis took her voice, her attorney
said. She is fed by a tube.

TriMet's $10M Contribution for OHSU Life Sciences Building
Seems like lots of people are questioning where TriMet got $10M to fund OHSU's life sciences building during the current budget crisis. Well after some digging, it looks like it comes from this TriMet board resolution. As far as I can tell it works something like this:
Clear as mud?
Maybe the idea is to take part of PMLR and make it part of the life sciences building project. Then TriMet uses PMLR money to pay PSU to build the parts they gave to OHSU. OHSU then turns around and says "hey, here's $10M of the life sciences building project we've funded;" thus making them more eligible for the bonds.
- OHSU is $10M short in local match funds, and may suffer delays in getting bonds unless they can come up with $10M quickly
- Lots of PSU students will be traveling to/from the new building (apparently it will offer some classes for PSU students).
- There will be a new MAX station (Porter St) close to this building, thus connecting it to PSU.
- TriMet sees the timely construction of this building to be a critical component to hitting ridership goals of PMLR
- TriMet agrees to pay PSU $10M to manage the construction of "the porter street station retaining wall and the Harbor St. aerial structure" (these are components of the PMLR project)
- Both PSU & OHSU are part of OUS (Oregon University System), and somehow paying $10M to PSU to manage these construction projects meets the need for the $10M that OHSU needs.
