Description

This opinion column by Rep. John Ley for Clark County Today explains how TriMet’s spare MAX light rail vehicles, revised IBR ridership projections, Federal Transit Administration data, and higher MAX operating costs compare with C-TRAN’s bus service, outlining why existing vehicles and current bus resources can cover the proposed Yellow Line extension without new MAX purchases. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-trimet-needs-zero-new-light-rail-vehicles-for-the-i-5-bridge-replacement/ #Opinion #TriMet #Transportation #LightRail #CTRAN #IBR #TransitCosts #ClarkCounty #MAX
