It’s not necessarily that they hate transit, it’s that they have a mypopic and outdated department mission. They can only build and maintain highways. The state desperately needs to tweak the department’s priorities.
Now Vancouver city government… There’s an institution that genuinely hates and fears transit.
It’s an easy scapegoat but again, C-Tran is doing much better in both ridership metrics and funding than TriMet. And ODOT has been vocally against bus lanes as well.
Well then let’s invite them to run a C-Tran train over the bridge to the Expo Center, whatever gets us local rail over the Columbia. Also we shouldn’t confuse county and city up there, same as we shouldn’t down here.
