> Could you forward this to the chapter members warning them that it is important that they answer it by COB tomorrow? It looks pretty important that we answer this survey. Please let them know that they may need assistance because I couldn’t get JAWS to identify any box to place a number in and had to use AIRA.

> Please take our Service Priorities Survey <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Ftrimet.sjc1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_8J1yEdTdeSoaIL4/1/0101019a35c0b1dc-5cf1d1b0-51fe-48bb-be84-3c6110df71ac-000000/7leqJk7AACkrqSlpX-AjU5Snz_khnScAJbGZn_47Q2Y=429> before it closes tomorrow, Oct. 31! The survey will help us as we prepare to reduce service to help bring our spending in line with our revenues. 
> Cutting service is never something we want to do. But acting now to address a significant annual budget gap will allow TriMet to continue serving our community well into the future.

> Reducing some bus service in November <>
> We will make our first round of smaller, budget-related service cuts on Sunday, Nov. 30. We are reducing service on five bus lines, during evening hours, when fewer people are riding.

> Moving riders efficiently along 4th Avenue <>
> Southwest 4th Avenue has a new look! <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.portland.gov%2Ftransportation%2Fpbot-projects%2Fconstruction%2Fsw-fourth-avenue-improvement-project/1/0101019a35c0b1dc-5cf1d1b0-51fe-48bb-be84-3c6110df71ac-000000/KRs1hMlgzJs2XD_em83_-oiCjjAdfLV0bfxh7XrofaM=429> With TriMet’s support, our partners at the Portland Bureau of Transportation have added a Business Access & Transit (BAT) lane and other improvements between Caruthers and Mill streets.
> Starting Friday, these upgrades will help our buses move safely around traffic, getting riders where they need to go faster and more reliably.

> Seeking members for TV Highway committee <>

> Completing MAX improvements on time <>
> We appreciate our riders’ patience during our weeklong MAX project <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv=BpFMnUavq0E/1/0101019a35c0b1dc-5cf1d1b0-51fe-48bb-be84-3c6110df71ac-000000/TbEPmB2vgB-6ldFUo9UGnlWmNznmZVO0R__LYvG6lHM=429> in October, which improved parts of our system which have been serving riders for decades. 
> This work supported the ongoing renovation of the NE 82nd Ave MAX Station, one of our busiest MAX stations. We also replaced the rail on the tightest turn in our light rail system — the big “fish hook” heading out to PDX. The result is a smoother, more reliable MAX ride.

> Introducing our next generation of bus shelters <>
> The latest and greatest TriMet bus shelters are popping up at select stops across our service area! Keep an eye out for this new generation of shelters — our first new regular bus shelter design in 30 years.
> These shelters are more durable and comfortable in all weather conditions, plus they have improved lighting. Many will also feature new digital displays <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv=Bq-pmLfPLy4/1/0101019a35c0b1dc-5cf1d1b0-51fe-48bb-be84-3c6110df71ac-000000/9MVwo9VGSz5_67OyrsjlL9DSW16GiOxPrY5QYUFBuBk=429> with real-time arrival information. 

> Connecting riders to safety dispatchers <>
> More and more of our MAX stations are getting blue-light security phones. Any time of day, whenever you need to reach security, you can simply push a button and connect directly with our Security Operations Center. You can also call or text our 24-hour security hotline at 503-238-7433 (RIDE).
> About 30 of our MAX stations have the kiosks, and we’re installing 30 more in the coming weeks.

> Did you know? Welcoming back the ‘Rail~Volution’ <>
> Thirty years ago, a first-of-its-kind conference was held in Portland — championed and co-organized by then-future congressman Earl Blumenauer. Rail~Volution, as it was called, was a big success. It soon became an annual event that is now called Mpact, which represents “Mobility, Community, Possibility.”
> We were thrilled to welcome Mpact back to Portland <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mpactmobility.org%2F/1/0101019a35c0b1dc-5cf1d1b0-51fe-48bb-be84-3c6110df71ac-000000/PERI4eYFe4myGb3Ip9POjvwpm78noVkl-tgltzCWbpk=429> for its 30th anniversary this week! TriMet co-hosted this year’s conference with our friends at Metro and the Portland Bureau of Transportation. It brought together some of the brightest minds in public transportation and urban planning, and showcased what we’ve accomplished over the years.
