MovingAhead Spring 2019 Outreach Summary 76 <br /> You pay for what you get <br /> 2- electric vehicles from scooters to arcimotos to vans (what ever is fitting the need) to be <br />available for scheduling on line to pickup customer and drop at main line <br /> 3- preferred light switches and lane markers that give buses clear travel lanes or more aptly <br />priority <br /> Perhaps even like ambulance clearance. <br /> Lastly I believe we still need a major ground swelling or movement to inspire people to use what <br />is already such a good system. I use it from the northern edge of the city." <br /> It will not be advantageous just as the west 11th corridor has not seen any advantages. <br /> I believe Highway 99 and River Road, based on the demographics, needs the most improvement <br />in transit. I would like to see EmX on River Road, potentially on Highway 99 and Coburg Road but <br />cost is a factor. <br /> Start involving other agencies such as EWEB, city transportation early. <br /> frequency is prime need <br /> This will enhance ridership without the cost of light rail investment with similar results and <br />increased popularity and investment in key demographic areas. <br /> Nothing in your plan gets a rider from outlying area to another outlying area without going <br />downtown first. No wheel. Redo the entire plan to get the cross traffic recognized. <br /> While I like some of these ideas I really don't understand why cross town busses are apparently <br />not an option you are considering? We really need a loop, an actual all the way around beltline. <br /> Package B looks best to me, meets the critical needs at a reasonable cost. <br /> Public transit adoption is something that is coming slowly to Eugene, but there is a genuine <br />demand and interest in alternative ways to get to work. Growing ridership on the EMX, and <br />making it affordable and convenient (through tap-to-board programs like Portland has with Hop) <br />to embark is vital to making Eugene a modern city that's attractive for the professional class and <br />businesses. <br /> Keep opportunities for new/enhanced/relocated peripheral transit hubs on the table, and <br />opportunities to enhance park-and-ride. <br /> Route 55 needs more service! <br /> I believe expanding emx to all major corridors will be vital as the regional population booms in <br />the coming years <br /> Pay attention to the needs of your tax paying residents and what they need to get to work, etc. <br />Public support is very important. Minimize impact on our trees. Improve time and access to the <br />working public who needs public transportation to be better, more convenient for them, etc. so <br />that they will even use it. I am a supporter, and continually encourage others to use alternate <br />modes of transportation. I appreciate the fact that you are trying to pay attention to the areas <br />of less advantaged and minority populations, but as a taxpayer, daily user of public <br />transportation, and someone who works full-time, it is really hard for me when I see so many <br />people on the bus who are very obviously NOT paying customers. I know they need to get <br />around too, but it's not right when they aren't expected to pay just like the rest of us. They are <br />the ones who are commonly disruptive, loud, dirty, etc., and I know that sounds bad to say that, <br />but those of us who are using the bus to get to work, feel less safe, disrespected, etc. when they <br />are not paying for the space they are using. I won't soon forget the day that I noticed a really <br />bad smell on the bus, and when I looked around I saw that it was coming from a dirty, scruffy- <br />July 15, 2019, Joint Work Session – Item1
