“Transit again proved how critical it is to this region, especially
during this extreme storm,” McFarlane said. “Our riders have been
terrific and patient as our dedicated TriMet team worked around the
clock to safely transport them, whether they chose not to drive or could
not drive during these extreme conditions. While we’re still working
the storm, it’s a bit premature to talk about lessons learned, but we
always focus on continued improvement and will assess how we performed
and how we can improve going forward.
Notice the carefully scripted 'Trimet is critical to this region' which is in every single statement that comes out of Trimet.
How about being honest and informing the people there is a possibility of becoming stuck for literally hours in the event of transit failure, which is a distinct possibility and has actually happened in every single instance of serious (at least by Portland standards) winter storm.
