TRIMET is functioning as a cash cow!
Who are all these people and do we really need them?
Adelaide Thinkers in Residence.
Adelaide Thinkers in Residence.
"The Thinkers undertake residencies of 2 - 6 months, in which they assist South Australia to build on its climate of creativity, innovation and excellence. The Thinkers provide the State with strategies for future development in the arts and sciences, social policy, environmental sustainability and economic development."
As stated above, these people are here to assist South Australia!
Obviously they should pay the whole cost for whoever they decide is worthy of being named to their program.
The people of Oregon should not have to shell out ONE DIME TO SEND FRED HERE!
And it clearly says 2-6 months, so it appears Fred may be lying once again.

Thinker In Residence Fred Hansen to ponder Adelaide transport
ADELAIDE'S next Thinker in Residence will put the city's public transport system under the microscope.
Transport Minister Patrick Conlon today announced Fred Hansen, the general manager of transport provider TriMet in Portland, Oregon, will begin in October.
Mr Conlon said Mr Hansen's experiences would help South Australia implement its next phase of public transport projects and would influence the state's first transport-oriented development at Bowden.
"Mr Hansen's home town of Portland is internationally recognised as one of the finest exponents of a sustainable and integrated public transport system," he said.
"In particular we are looking to benefit from Mr Hansen's expertise in the provision of higher-density development along transport corridors as we pursue a more liveable and sustainable city."
Last week's Federal Budget announced support for extensions of the Gawler and Noarlunga rail lines and another $61 million to gives O-Bahn buses priority in the city.
Mr Hansen will take over from Professor Laura Lee, who has focused on the integrated design of cities.

THE CANDIDATES
I don't think that John Hunt has been a bad president, and I'm sure he has "connections" and all that, but BRUCE HANSEN brings a new face to the table, a face that is more in touch with what OPERATORS NEED. BRUCE has no part of the TOM WALLACE scandal. Both JOHN and SAM were in office during this and cannot abbrogate some responsibility for not minding the store

Steve Banta reports on the International Bus Roadeo
TriMet was represented at the 2009 APTA International Bus Roadeo competition held last week in
On the bus maintenance side, Powell mechanics Randy Reusser, Victor Kuss and Brian Zach took 15th place out of 36 teams. One reason they did so well is that they found time to practice for several hours on a new bus engine module and computer diagnostic program, which TriMet doesn’t have. The team scored 300 out of 350 possible points in that event, beating King County Metro and
Transportation was represented by Karen Asio, a bus operator from
Congratulations to them all for their hard work, their achievements and for representing the agency. While the Roadeo will not take place this year, it will return in the future. It is an important event for showcasing the talent of our employees and building community among employees.

WHO IS JOSEPH ROSE AND WHY DOES HE HATE BUS DRIVERS?
Mr Joseph Rose who is pictured above has taken it upon himself to be Inquisitor in charge of perusing bus drivers who in his high and mighty opinion do things that he himself does not approve of.
Mr Rose thinks that his judgments are superior to the entire institution of TRIMET, which has now been functioning for more than a few decades.
So who is Mr Rose? Why does he think of himself so capable of judging others?
Inquiring minds want to know.
