FX2-Division is TriMet's high-capacity bus service along Division Street in Southeast Portland.

FX2-Division is TriMet's high-capacity bus service along Division Street in Southeast Portland. The primary objective of this project is to assess conflicts between users of the shared bicycle and transit stations along this corridor, with a particular focus on conflicts between people on foot (or wheelchair/mobility devices) who are waiting for boarding and/or alighting a bus, and people on bicycles riding in the bike lane. To accommodate passing bicyclists and transit riders accessing the new FX2 TriMet bus rapid transit line in Portland, TriMet worked with the City of Portland and broad group of stakeholders and partners to design and implement a new shared use bus platform that incorporates a sidewalk / platform level bike lane. The SE Division corridor was designated a high-crash corridor by PBOT, and the revamped high capacity FX2 line was implemented in coordination with associated safety improvements. Stakeholders and partners included TriMet Committee on Accessible Transit, the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) Bicycle Advisory Committee, the PBOT Pedestrian Advisory Committee, the Oregon Commission for the Blind, and the Oregon Department of Transportation. Transit service began operations in September 2022. This report assesses how well the FX2 shared bus platform is working for transit riders and other platform users, including bicyclists. See More
