[Rose_City_Chapter] Rose City Chapter Meeting Agenda - August, 2023

[Joy Relton]

Hi Caroline, Thanks. I’m looking forward to using the buses more. Also, I’m looking forward to having the Red line go out to Hillsboro. Once I understand the train system better and I’m sure that my hearing aids are adjusted to give me accurate information I plan to use the train to travel around the area. I have always be partial to public transportation rather than paratransit.

Joy, 

The red MAX line goes to Hillsboro, but the blue line goes only as far as Beaverton. As for busses, have  you been on the TriMet website?  On the Transit Tracker phone number you might also be able to get good info, including talking to a real person.  It’s 503-238-RIDE.

TriMet is fantastic, and we’re so lucky to live here!

Greetings Fellow Rose City Chapter members,

 

I have two questions to which I would appreciate answers for my own benefit but which really aren’t for the benefit of the group. If you could please look at my questions below and give me feedback and/or resources I would appreciate it.

 

1.	Do any of you have experience using Seeing AI for color identification? If so, how helpful/accurate have you found it to be?
2.	How do I figure out which light rail lines go where? I will be moving to Hillsboro and I understand that the light rail station is about four miles from where I will be living. I also understand that they are adding a line but I don’t know which ones come there now, which ones are going to be added, where they go and how I find this out.

 

Thanks so much for whatever you can share.

 

Joy
