Challenges

Transit Oriented Development works well for communities within ½ mile of transportation hub (3/4 sq miles)
Can we use technology to expand this to 2miles (12½ Sq miles), servicing a larger community more cost effectively while maintaining the walkability score
Can we use technology to increase safety and security at these transportation hubs thus improving ridership and reducing cost
Can we use these transit hubs for cargo, commuters and casual users
By making these improvements can we reduce costs so as to service all citizens in Portland and make all communities desirable and walkable reducing displacement

Cargo

This last leg of the supply chain comprises up to 28% of the total cost to move goods.
The last leg of delivery, ending up at the consumer's home has become more challenging with consumers away from home when deliveries are usually made
This is particularly true when families have multiple jobs
On demand home delivery, unattended delivery and pick up at transit hub are options for UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL and others
Use same chassis or even re-configure EV for cargo use off peak
