Forecasts are still uncertain but it’s possible we could see a wintry mix in the Portland metro area this week — with some potential for accumulating snow Wednesday night into Thursday. While confidence is low, anyone with travel plans should pay close attention to the

Rosa Parks Birthday Free Transit Feb 4
TriMet will honor Rosa Parks with free rides for all passengers this Wednesday, February 4th. Transit operators will suspend fare collection on that day until 2 a.m. February 5th. Portland Streetcar and C-TRAN operators will also offer rides without cost in observation of the civil rights icon's 113th birthday. Riders who tap a Hop card or ticket will receive confirmation of valid fare, but the automated systems won't charge them, and ticket machines will not allow any ticket purchases on February 4th.

I'm glad BikePortland caught this. I wanted to make sure the public understood that conversations around PCEF and Trimet are happening in the halls, because it is a matter of public interest and there are serious considerations to weigh if we were to amend the CIP to support Trimet. My thoughts 🧵
