Regional vision corridors: Corridors where projected 2035 land use and commensurate ridership potential
are not supportive of HCT implementation:
• Corridor 38S: Sherwood to Tualatin

As of this writing, refinement planning is underway for the Southwest Corridor (Corridor 11). The exact loca-
tion and transit mode of Southwest Corridor HCT is not yet identified. The Transit Element map shows a broad
swath that includes the routes that are currently under consideration.

Refinement planning for HCT in the TV Highway Corridor between Hillsboro and Beaverton (Corridor 32) is a
key recommendation of the 2013 TV Highway Corridor Plan. The Transit Element map shows the corridor as
a wide line that includes TV Highway, the adjacent Portland & Western Railroad and several other potential
routes. An HCT Study is needed to determine the transit mode, location and right-of-way needs for future HCT
along TV Highway. This need for further study is also reflected in the Refinement Area shown in the Roadway
Element.

Frequent Bus Service
Frequent Bus Service is fixed-route bus service with 15-minute or shorter headways (times between arriving
buses) all day, seven days a week, with the potential exception of longer headways during early morning and
ADOPTED TEXT late night hours.

Regular Bus Service
Regular Bus Service is fixed-route bus service with 15-minute headways during weekday peak periods and
20 to 30-minute headways at other times.

Peak Period Bus Service
Peak Period Bus Service is fixed-route bus service that operates during the weekday morning and evening
peak periods only.

Community Connector Service Area
A Community Connector Service Area is an area that is currently served, or could potentially be served, by
lower-cost fixed-route bus service or flexible-route shuttle service. These are areas where regular bus service
may not be feasible due to lower densities and/or historically low transit ridership.

Interregional Bus and Air Service
Interregional Bus and Air Services provide for longer-distance transit service that connects Washington
County with locations outside of the immediate Portland metropolitan region, such as Yamhill County, Colum-
bia County and the Oregon Coast and beyond. Interregional bus and air services and routes are not identified
on the transit system map.

Transit Center and Bus or Air Terminal
A Transit Center and/or Bus or Air Terminal is a transit hub served by several bus routes and/or air or rail
transit facilities. Transit Centers and Bus or Air Terminals allow riders to transfer between different transit
services and/or modes in a safe, comfortable environment. Typical features of include shelters, benches,
lighting, bicycle parking, traveler information and layover facilities for transit operators. Transit Centers and/
or Bus or Air Terminal may include automobile parking, drop-off zones and retail uses.
