Beginning with five 1Washington Park Circulator Buses, the broad scope outlined here is to perform an
impact assessment and community engagement. The output of which will be used to inform a
workforce development initiative and partnership with MTR Western for conversion of a 180 bus
fleet. It will put special emphasis on improving the community through strategic investments,
such as integrating the community's live-work-play potential, enhancing safety, accessibility,
creating equitable jobs in emerging technology, and transitioning to a greener economy.

Within the scope of the assessment plan we will establish a partner consortium to foster
collaboration among industry, government, nonprofit, and community stakeholders. Guiding
principles for this consortium will be to create a plan that offers a resilient, inclusive, and
environmentally sustainable community. It will also look to create a close working relationship
with adjacent industry partners in EV charging and Solar integration. We will assess this area of
the city for its potential to become an active and vital mixed use district.

A series of workshops and research efforts to consider a suitable site, site access, land use, and
identify mitigation strategies for hazard events, among other concerns (e.g. the natural risk of
flooding, vehicle traffic etc..) will be integral to the plan.

Close attention will be given to the network of open spaces in the Multnomah County Drainage
District, multi-modal transportation, resilience and the ability to move toward a low-carbon
neighborhood.
