Vision Around the Mountain: ODOT’s Vision Around the Mountain is a strategic planning project to improve public access to Mt. Hood region by establishing a shared, long-term, regional transit vision. The project will guide transit network coordination and connection across multiple jurisdictions.

Shuttle Program: The Clackamas County Shuttles provide enhanced options and access in areas currently unserved or underserved by transit. The shuttles include first/last-mile services in Oregon City, Clackamas Industrial Area, and Milwaukie Industrial Area, as well as a service connecting Tualatin, West Linn, and Oregon City. The first shuttles will begin operation in 2021.

Enhanced Transit Corridors, Express and Limited-Stop Market Analysis: Regional transit planning efforts have included Metro’s identification of Enhanced Transit Corridors (ETCs) and TriMet’s Express and Limited-Stop Market Analysis, with outcomes resulting in faster transit trips in the region through corridor improvements or express services. Future studies are likely to identify other candidate corridors, and Clackamas County should track these for consistency with this TDP.

Mt Hood Express: Clackamas County, in partnership with the Oregon Department of Transportation, Mt Hood National Forest, Hood River County, FHWA-Western Federal Lands Highway Division, completed the Mt Hood Multimodal Plan that looked at ways to improve safety and enhance travel options along the Mt Hood Highway corridor. A critical part of the Multimodal plan is the Mt Hood Express Commuter Service and Villages Shuttle service that provides public transportation between the City of Sandy, Government Camp, and Timberline, along with other locations along the Highway 26 corridor. These services increase access to employment, recreation, shopping, and medical services for both residents and visitors. The updated Multimodal Plan along with the Vision Around the Mountain plan will continue to guide the operation of the Mt Hood Express and Village Shuttle services.
