Tigard
police believe poor visibility, rain and the pedestrian’s dark clothing
contributed to the crash. Neither the Tri-Met driver nor the pedestrian
was cited.
Tri-
Met has recently adopted a mandatory “recertification” process for its
drivers. Many older drivers see the recertification process as an
attempt by Tri-Met management to clear its ranks of “old timers”. Others
believe Tri-Met is attempting to respond to a series of tragic Tri- Met
Crashes in recent years. Once of the worst Tri-Met crashes occurred in
April 2010. Several pedestrians were killed in that event involving a
younger Tri-Met driver who was eventually fired by Tri-Met in the wake
of intense public pressure.
