Commute Options

• 🚴 Bike: 12.8 km via Sunset Highway → Beaverton-Tigard Freeway → SW Hillsdale Hwy. Estimated 45–60 min. Challenge: 6.9 km Sunset Highway is a major arterial with limited cycling infrastructure.
• 🚶 Walk: 12.8 km, ~2.5–3 hours. Not practical for daily commute.
• 🔄 Recommended: Mixed-mode (bike + TriMet bus/MAX) for segments with limited bike infrastructure.

This data could be used with stplanr for origin-destination analysis of EV-trip charging needs along the Portland-Beaverton corridor, and to assess where additional charging infrastructure is most needed along sustainable commute routes.
