As housing density and our population increase, can we expect better, safer, more affordable, and more frequent public transit to serve them? Expecting TriMet to "turn a profit" at the fare meter, and maintaining only the most profitable routes ignores the lasting improvements to livability that public transit offers to all residents, and especially residents who can't afford to live where they work. Would you be willing to fund public transit at a higher rate in order to make the service and visible security changes that could improve commute times, ridership, and visitors' perception of safety? How would you propose to fund those changes?
