SAM ridership continues to increase. \u00a0SAM provided 11,291 rides in June 2018 compared to 10,956 rides in June 2017, an overall increase of 6.3%. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The SAM Gresham route had a slight decrease of 1.8% ridership as compared to June 2017. \u00a0\u00a0Estacada continues to do well with a ridership increase of 18.1% over the previous year. The Shopper Shuttle increased 130% from 243 rides in June 2017 to 559 rides in 2018. \u00a0Even with the success of the Shopper Shuttle STAR saw a 12.5% increase in ridership this month. <\/span><\/p>\n

The elderly and disabled program, which gives non-emergency medical rides to the greater Metro region, saw a 39% decrease from 100 rides in 2017 to 61 rides in June 2018. \u00a0The new Sandy dialysis clinic and a general lack of availability on behalf of Sandy Transit have contributed to this decreased. Due to a reduced number of drivers, Sandy Transit is currently only sending one driver and one vehicle while providing rides on behalf of Sandy Transit clients and Sandy Community Center clients. \u00a0We are actively recruiting drivers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ITS application is up and running on SAM and MHX vehicles. \u00a0The very first day it was available, it was used to notify riders of a crash on Hwy 26 that caused a detour. \u00a0It will also be used to announce stop changes during the Sandy Mountain Festival in July. Please download the DoubleMap app to your phone for direct access to SAM and MHX real-time features. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Staff continues\u00a0to work on the new Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund project list. \u00a0This requires multiple monthly meetings with Clackamas providers, the county and TriMet. The project list is expected to be finalized and presented to TriMet by the end of July. \u00a0This very tight timeline has proven difficult due to the extensive rules adoption timeline and public process required.<\/span><\/p>\n
