If these are out there I'm sure not getting any....maybe the west side doesnt get em...
All the fareboxes in TriMet’s Bus Fleet are being rebuilt to like-new condition. This rebuild will not change the operation of the fareboxes or the procedures for addressing mechanical problems. If you encounter a coin jam or bill jam in your farebox, follow the same procedures as before to clear these jams.
The rebuild project will be completed in February but there will be a break-in period for the new parts in the fareboxes. Maintenance appreciates your patience during this transition and asks that Operators report any problems by submitting an Operator’s Report of Defect Card.

Well, at least we get new chairs, oh wait, westside is NOT GETTING ANY CHAIRS....
TriMet’s current operating budget includes some limited funding for work environment improvements. One area of improvement highlighted by operators and managers was the need to upgrade the seating in operator break rooms out in the field. Much of that seating is below standards for comfort and durability.
As an initial step toward a more comfortable work environment, we are upgrading the chairs located at Gateway, Clackamas, and Gresham Central. The new chairs will be arriving at these locations soon.

Sounds like this was already decided upon, hopefully I'll be outta here by then
During the recent sign-up many of you had the opportunity to see the prototype of a transfer printer unit being considered by TriMet. More than 70 operators took the time to provide written feedback and many more offered verbal comments on the unit. The feedback will be used to help improve final design of the unit so that it best serves operators & our customers.
$30,000,000 for radios in case you forgot
TriMet is in the process of replacing our current radio system with a state of the art CAD/AVL system (computer aided dispatch/automatic vehicle locator). The radio replacement project is important because our current radio system is costly to maintain and is not compliant with federal regulations.
In the near future a small fleet of buses with the new CAD/AVL radio will be placed into revenue service to test the radio performance. This in-service test fleet will operate out of the Merlo garage.
The upgrade of the bus fleet and operator training on CAD/AVL will be completed this year.
(Federal regulations, the heart of the problem, and I am NOT a conservative)

Another business shuts its bathroom to Trimet-via Shelly Lomax
Operators on the line 15 were recently notified that one of the restrooms TriMet employees use on the route is no longer available for our use. The business said that, although they felt bad ending the privilege, they had no choice. Unfortunately some operators were letting passengers use the facility and the restroom was not consistently left in good condition by operators or the passengers using the facility.
I wish the feedback from this business was unique, but from time to time we hear similar concerns from other businesses who allow us the use of their facilities. Sometimes it is a real challenge to find businesses willing to allow the restroom access we want and need - this can result in resorting to portable toilets or less convenient restroom access.
It is important to note that in most cases businesses that allow us access receive little or no monthly payment for allowing the use of their restrooms. These businesses typically welcome us because they value the service that TriMet provides and they generally appreciate the hard work TriMet employees perform. In short, they allow access to their private facilities as a courtesy.
As you go about your day, you may stop in at one of the businesses who have been gracious enough to allow us access. If you do, please do not allow non-TriMet personnel into the facility and be a good guest. Thank you.

ESTACADA RESIDENTS NOT HAPPY
The meeting began with some ground rules from
Dodrill before TriMet’s Pam Wilson, a marketing manager, Kerry
Ayres-Palanuk, a service planning manager, and Clay Thompson, a
marketing coordinator, made their opening statements.
“We’re looking forward to a two-way conversation,”
Wilson said. “We are in the preliminary stages of a budget process and
everything is on the table.” (except pay cuts for executives)
GROUNDLESS COMPLAINTS ROLLING IN
It's amazing how many people are calling in on operators when something happens to them they don't like.
Folks, we are really working in a horribly hostile work environment.
Take precautions, protect yourselves, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT!
Stop the light-rail obsession.
Proponents will cite the fact that light rail will create jobs. But
so will building lane miles and bridges. Minnesota Department of
Transportation studies have proven that roads have a benefit/cost ratio
greater than one, meaning that the economic benefit of a project
outweighs the actual cost of the improvement and will pay for itself
over time. Most road and bridge projects have ratios of three or four,
meaning that $3 or $4 of calculated value is returned for every dollar
of costs. The Hiawatha Line was projected at 0.42 in 1999, meaning that
for every dollar spent, we receive 42 cents in value.
When you look at the costs, building more light rail lines is nothing short of a money pit that will bankrupt our state and our nation. It is time to cut our losses and stop this madness.

BOSTON COMMUTERS FIGHTING BACK HARD
A hell of a lot harder than the commuters in this passive city are.
Obviously compared to "real" transit cities Portland isn't even on the map. I'm talking about the actual % of the population that uses transit.
In the Portland area only 12% of the population uses mass transit, obviously there wouldn't be much push back, because most citizens could care less about it here.

MBTA TRYING TO PULL THE SAME STUNT AS TRIMET
A group advocating for public transit in Massachusetts lashed out at
Transportation Secretary Richard Davey on Monday for what it called a
“false choice” he has laid out between “draconian” service cuts and fare
hikes to help balance the MBTA’s books.
