Villages at Mt. Hood Public Meeting
Sunday, July 19, 2015
The Villages at Mt. Hood Board of Directors will sponsor a public meeting to gather constructive information that will help the Mt. Hood Transportation Alliance and Clackamas County enhance the Mt. Hood Express Bus Service. We are making a very strong effort to reach out for public input, and would like your valuable input as it pertains to the Mt. Hood Express, and the service it provides to our mountain communities.
Please plan to attend Monday night’s meeting at 7:00 p.m.; Mt. Hood Lion’s Club; Welches, Oregon. Our vision and goals are as follows:
Vision
Enhance and sustain a transit system for the Mt. Hood and Columbia Gorge region that provides local circulation and seamless regional connections to meet current and future transportation needs of local residents and visitors to the region.
Goal 1: Develop financial sustainability for regional transit service.
Goal 2: Expand year-round travel options to enhance mobility and access to recreation areas and rural communities.
Goal 3: Improve transit service to relieve traffic and parking congestion and enhance safety in the Mt. Hood Corridors.
Goal 4: Continue to integrate schedules with regional transit services.
Mount Hood Transit Implementation Plan
Visitors travel from around the world to enjoy Mt. Hood and the surrounding forest. Most of the travel to this area by visitors is currently by private cars. The Mt. Hood Express provides bus service for communities along Highway 26, running from the City of Sandy, east to Government Camp and Timberline Lodge. This bus service provides an important connection for residents along the Highway 26 Corridor to get to work at business along the corridor or at the ski resorts, as well as access to other needed services. Clackamas County has contracted with LSC to develop a Transit Implementation Plan for the Mt. Hood Express. This plan will look at existing and future transportation needs and develop specific recommendations for service improvements and long-term funding to sustain the service.
Multiple opportunities will be provided for community input including public meetings, a resident and visitor survey questionnaire, and posting interim reports on this website.
The First community meetings will be held on the following dates at the locations listed:
July 20th - 7:00 p.m.
Mt. Hood Lions Club
24730 E. Woodsey Way
Welches, OR 97067
July 22nd - 7:00 p.m.

If you need a great getaway from the city that's only one hour away from Portland, there can't be a better choice than a Mt. Hood National Forest cabin. They're located in Government Camp and Rhododendron mostly and the forest is filled with 550 cabins! Although they can only be used as second homes they are often a choice for many second home buyers who want an easy accessible location from Portland.
Keep in mind there is a yearly permit fee ranging from around $1900 to $2800 to own a cabin. The lease/permit is somewhat like CC and R's in a homeowner's association with the rules of ownership.
