OHSU plans bike injury prevention study
Last month, during my sneak peek at the new OHSU Tram, I met an avid bike commuter named Ellen Peck. Turns out that in addition to volunteering with the OHSU Bike Commuters Group, she is also an R.N. and the clinicial research coordinator for OHSU’s Trauma Department.
Revealing results to SmartTrips survey
[Survey boundary map.]
PDOT’s Transportation Options Division has just released an interesting comparison of survey results based on their SmartTrips program. SmartTrips — formerly known as the “Hub” project — is the name given to their annual marketing program that promotes biking, walking, and public transit in a selected geographic area.
In 2006 the target area was Northeast and in 2007 the target area is Southeast (see map at right).
Last September, a post-survey of Northeast residents and the pre-survey of Southeast residents was administered to 900 households; 300 in Northeast and 600 in Southeast.

After posting my first Salem report, BTA bike lobbyist Scott Bricker and I set off for two more meetings.
The first was with Representative Jeff Barker, a Democrat who represents Beaverton and Aloha. This meeting (as usual) would only last about 15 minutes and with three full bills to cover, Scott didn’t want to overwhelm Rep. Barker with information.
