CAT 现任成员
T.J. 安德森
我叫 T.J. Anderson，出生在Portland ，Oregon 。 从 14 岁到 24 岁，我一直在西海岸的厨房工作。
在那之后的一段时间里，我不得不重新学习如何用不一样的身体行走，一段时间后，我重新站了起来，现在我可以用拐杖行走。在为TriMet LIFT 工作了几年后，这段经历让我通过 PCC 成为了一名残疾人社区倡导者。 在 PCC 修读健康课程期间，我曾担任荣誉协会主席、荣誉协会全国半决赛选手以及负责预算和内部运营的学校参议员。
目前，我就读于 PSU，因为健康状况允许我完成定量经济学和工商管理双学士学位课程。闲暇时，我努力学习更多技能，提高对领导力和业务情况的适应能力。闲暇时，我会做饭、举重、玩电子游戏，如果有黄金骑士队的比赛，我还会去看。我不经常外出就餐，因为我的工作很忙，但我喜欢去不同的市场寻找一些便宜的食材来做饭。
Jan Campbell
Chair
我是一名残疾人，当我因为残疾而被拒绝教书时，在《美国残疾人法》通过之前，我把我的职业生涯集中在了民权和人权领域。我受雇于 Multnomah 郡老龄、残疾和退伍军人服务部，现任残疾意识资源小组 (DART) 临时主任。DART 支持并倡导家庭暴力和性侵犯幸存者中的残疾人。我曾是许多州和地方理事会、董事会和委员会的成员和主席。
在讨论和制定影响残疾人的决策和政策的委员会、理事会和专门委员会中，往往没有残疾人的身影。我为社区服务的方式是积极参与能够带来积极变化的团体，并将残疾问题列入他们的议程。其他成员，主要是CAT 成员，和我一起关注TriMet 的障碍，并共同努力消除这些障碍，使我们的公共 "中转 "能够真正为每个人所用。 我和另外两名残障人士以及 TriMet 的工作人员一起成立了 CAT 委员会。我喜欢与委员会一起工作，因为我们对自己的工作充满热情。委员会的许多成员都是同龄人，即乘坐该系统的残疾人和老年人。我们尝试作为一个团队，即委员会成员和 TriMet，共同提出解决方案，以消除存在的障碍。
我最喜欢去的地方是和朋友们一起走山路，最喜欢吃的地方是任何有美味意大利菜的地方。
戴维-戴利
我在公共交通领域工作多年，于 2018 年退休。我最初是 "长者在行动 "的志愿者，后来（现在）是 Multnomah 郡人类服务机构老龄服务咨询委员会的成员。我之所以申请加入 CAT，是因为我在 Multnomah 郡的工作让我认识到，要为老年人和残障人士提供有效的服务，交通是一个巨大的问题。我是 Multnomah 郡为解决非紧急医疗运送系统的主要服务质量问题而组织的特设委员会的成员。我还是Oregon 州非紧急医疗运送规则咨询委员会的郡代表。
我最关注的群体是，大量老年人不再应该开车，但却没有资格使用LIFT 辅助公交。 在处理与无障碍相关的障碍时，我认为我们需要对这一群体开展更多的外联活动，并对TriMet 运营商进行更多培训，让他们了解在使用固定线路系统时如何为他们提供有效的服务。
我最喜欢的用餐地点是Portland ，位于 SE Division 的 Nuestra Cocina。
尤利西斯-哈莫尼-加西亚
Ulysses Harmony Garcia (she/they) is a proud Oregon native currently living in Tigard. As a blind, hard-of-hearing, neurodivergent, and transgender individual, Ulysses brings a unique and intersectional perspective to her advocacy work in accessibility, affordable housing, and transportation. She currently serves on the Resident Advisory Board for the Housing Authority of Washington County and is passionate about breaking down systemic barriers in both housing and transit. Since she has experienced every possible barrier to employment and higher education due to her intersecting identities, she knows how crucial her work is to ensure that people in her position won't have to fight as hard to get their needs met.
A bilingual speaker of English and Spanish, Ulysses is deeply committed to expanding accessibility for the visually and hearing-impaired, as well as improving language access for all transit users. She is particularly interested in how artificial intelligence and remote assistance technologies, like AIRA, can help make transportation systems more accessible.
Ulysses 与TriMet 的缘分始于 2005 年，当时一位助行教练向她介绍了TriMet LIFT 服务。 自 2008 年入学以来，她一直依靠该系统与社区保持联系。她最喜欢乘坐WES Commuter Rail ，柴油发动机带来的感官体验让她感到踏实和舒适。
尤利西斯求知欲旺盛，在公共关系、冷电话/电话银行和使用 WordPress 创建内容方面积累了丰富的知识。这些技能对于任何专业工作场所来说都是无价之宝，她非常感谢 NorthStar Clubhouse 和 Recovery Cafe Roseway 等组织对她工作的长期支持。
Outside of her advocacy work, Ulysses is known for her curiosity and love of exploring. Whether spending time outdoors, connecting with nature, or cruising the Willamette River aboard Portland Spirit or the high-speed Explorer Jet Boat, she finds joy in discovery and movement. Together with the support of her Direct Support Professional (DSP), Ulysses continues to advocate for public spaces where all individuals — regardless of disability, identity, or background — can thrive.
艾琳-格雷厄姆
Erin Graham currently serves as President and CEO of OMSI. She has worked with the nonprofit in various roles, including COO, for more than a decade. She sees her role on the TriMet Board as a relationship-builder, engaging with and stewarding a variety of different partners and community relationships. Her vision for transit includes shared economic prosperity and environmental stewardship, driven by innovation.
"格雷厄姆说："投资于公共交通的升级和电气化以及增加乘客数量，对于实现我们的气候目标和减少对人类健康的影响至关重要。
在加入 OMSI 之前，Graham 曾在非营利组织从事筹款、运营工作，并担任过艺术和技术行业的内部法律顾问。她拥有威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的法学博士/工商管理硕士学位和威斯康星大学Oregon 的学士学位。 Graham 是Oregon 美国领导论坛和国际妇女论坛的成员。
理查德-亨特
我叫理查德-E-亨特（Richard E. Hunter Sr.），是自 2024 年 7 月 1 日起加入 CAT 团队的新成员。我是土生土长的Portland Oregon ，从上世纪五六十年代我母亲带我去看病和看牙医开始，我就一直在Portland 使用公共交通工具，当时这里还是玫瑰城 中转。 60 年代末，我开始独自骑行 "玫瑰之城"（Rose City），即使在TriMet 时也是如此，直到今天。
我一直是一名积极的公共交通通勤者，也一直是公民生活中多样性、平等性和包容性的倡导者。在过去的 45 年里，我曾在多个组织的董事会和委员会任职（例如Sabin Community Development Corporation、Housing Our Families、Oregon Health Commision、Oregon Human Rights Coalition、Humboldt Neighborhood Association、Jefferson High School Alumni Association、JHS Conceptual Master Planning Committee、JHS Comprehensive Planning Committee、JHS Design Advisory Group、Urban League ofPortland 、NAACPPortland Branch 1120-B Environmental& Climate Justice Committee、AARPOregon 、AARP N/NEPortland Chapter 5264、PBOT Pedestrian Advisory Committee）。 我还参与了数十个有关交通、环境和应急准备的焦点小组。
2013 年，我特意从拥有一辆汽车过渡到骑自行车和定期乘坐公共交通工具。2015 年 8 月，我作为运输服务代表从 ODOT 的机动车辆部 (DMV) 退休。每当我的上司完成对我的年度员工评估时 他都会在最后写道."他骑自行车上班，为环保做出了贡献"。从那时起，除了LIFT （公交、街车、有轨电车、MAX 列车、Zip Car、出租车、Uber 和电动自行车）之外，我使用过现有的大多数公共交通工具。
我的父亲是一名牧师。我于 1978 年被按立为牧师，担任父亲的助理牧师，直到他于 1979 年去世。他去世后，我成为了牧师，并在那里服务了 8 年（1979-1986 年）。如今，我与我的哥哥一起担任副牧师，哥哥是我的主任牧师。自 65 岁以来，我一直享受着Honored Citizen 的身份。 2024 年 7 月 18 日是我 71 岁的生日。
I am excited to work with my fellow committee members on the CAT and it is my goal to be a productive member and a voice for elderly and persons with disabilities.
Annadiana Johnson
无任所成员
I live in Forest Grove and have been a member of CAT since 2018. In 2020, I was voted in as a Member At Large for the CAT. I also serve as a member of the Special Transportation Fund Advisory Committee (STFAC).
自 2004 年起，我就成了残疾人，需要长途旅行时，我就使用代步车。自 2003 年以来，固定路线公交车和 MAX 一直是我前往目的地的主要交通工具。
我有计算机系统工程师的背景，一直以来都很喜欢做志愿者，帮助他人改善生活。我认为，我在委员会中的参与能为流程分析和改进带来宝贵的见解。我过去一直是 "长者在行动 "的志愿者，我相信，与 "长者在行动"、CAT 或任何其他委员会分享信息是更好地了解现状以及如何改变现状以便更好地为所有人服务的关键。与CAT 合作非常愉快，因为它为我们提供了一个了解他人的空间，让我们一起努力，为使用 "中转 "系统的每个人创造更美好的生活。
我最喜欢去的地方是 Forest Grove、Beaverton 和Portland 的农贸市场。 我最喜欢吃饭的地方是 Buffet Dynasty、Oregon Culinary Institute 和 Gandhi's Indian restaurant。
帕特里夏-开普勒
Patricia works as an Accessibility Specialist for Portland Community College and has served as a Governor appointed commissioner of the Oregon Disabilities Commission and the Oregon Commission for the Blind. In addition to serving on CAT, Patricia currently serves as a consultant in the development of Metro departmental ADA transition plans. Patricia uses She/Her pronouns.
我在导盲犬的帮助下旅行。我的狗能帮我绕过遇到的大多数障碍。当我需要前往城市设计者并不优先考虑行人通行的地区时，我依靠LIFT 来往返约会地点。
多年前，我在一次宣传活动中认识了 CAT 主席简-坎贝尔（Jan Campbell）。简对安全、无障碍交通的热情很有感染力，促使我申请成为 CAT 成员。我喜欢与宣传团队一起工作。CAT 的每位成员都带来了丰富的知识和经验，并致力于为访问Portland 都会区的每个人改善交通便利性。
我喜欢在海滨公园度过时光。传统上，在那里总能找到一些有趣的东西。我喜欢所有的节日！不过，我最喜欢的用餐地点是Beaverton La Hacienda Real。
Gary Marschke
After 30 years in media, publishing, and consulting, Gary launched an encore career in 2000 recruiting volunteers, as well as managing programs and community projects for Volunteers of America.
In 2017, Gary found a home as Outreach & Development Manager (Friend & Fundraiser) for National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in Clackamas County where he’s developing fundraising strategies, events and activities, writing grants, teaching workshops on mental health, and building relationships to further the mission.
Gary also launched an encore marriage in 1989 and is the proud father of two daughters and a stepson, as well as four grandchildren and a Yorkie rescue named Carlin. In his free time, Gary has been abusing golf clubs for 40 years and is an avowed and unashamed karaoke enthusiast.
I chose to join the Committee on Accessible Transportation to bring a voice to the table from rural communities, particularly those with mental health challenges, as accessible transportation is a significant obstacle to successfully managing recovery.
Sky McLeoud
我叫 Sky，我使用他们、她和他代词。我是一名盲人、神经分裂症患者、性别融合者、阿什肯纳兹和塞法迪犹太千禧一代，曾患有精神疾病、哮喘和学习障碍。我从 2015 年起就住在Portland ，我爱这座城市，因为这里有灵感迸发的素食、多雨的天气、当地的艺术氛围，还有令人惊叹的 "中转 "系统。 因此，我很高兴能加入CAT ，帮助指导TriMet 改进工作，继续为波特兰残障人士提供无障碍的 "终点"。
我于 2024 年毕业于Portland 州立大学，获得心理学理学学士学位，辅修冲突解决。 我撰写的荣誉论文主题是 "非暴力抵抗在美国残疾人群体中的应用"。为实现无障碍公共 "中转 "而进行的斗争是这一故事的重要组成部分，为 "中转 "而进行的抗议是我们拥有《美国残疾人法案》的主要原因之一。 我努力将残疾公正和宣传理念渗透到我所有的学术研究和工作中。
我有丰富的工作经验。多年来，我一直在 "生命之线 "全国预防自杀生命热线接听电话。我在 Call to Safety 工作，这是一家为家庭暴力和性侵犯幸存者提供帮助的地方机构。我还在西北电影中心（现为 PAM CUT）教孩子们如何制作电影和动作动画。 我和另一位盲人朋友一起主持了一个名为 "白手杖公民 "的播客，我们一起观看有盲人角色的电影并谈论它们。我还是 Kickstand Comedy 的即兴表演者，经常作为他们的合奏演员进行表演。最后，我还是Portland 和平团队的董事会成员和核心培训师，该团队参加非暴力抗议和活动，帮助缓和局势，确保行动保持非暴力。 我们还向各种非营利机构、政府机构、私营机构和企业教授降级技巧。
我很高兴能致力于使Portland 成为一个更方便的城市。 作为一名盲人，"中转 "系统是我自立和参与众多社区活动的重要工具。 提高 "中转 "系统的无障碍性，方便残疾人出行是一项重要任务，我很幸运能参与其中！
阿卜杜勒拉赫曼-奥斯曼
I came to the United States several years ago from the Nile Valley and have since made Portland my home after time in the snowy Midwest. As a blind, Muslim individual, public transportation is essential for reaching work, school, the mosque, and community events. Through my volunteer work as an assistive technology instructor, I have also heard many stories from people with disabilities who rely on transit for independence, education, and employment. These experiences have given me both personal and professional insight into the importance of TriMet and the need to keep improving it for all riders.
My commitment to accessibility and advocacy has guided my work in disability rights and in my current role as a mental health counselor. I help students navigate challenges, find their voices, and build self-advocacy skills. Serving on the CAT feels like a natural extension of this mission, giving me the opportunity to listen to community needs and push for positive change.
My vision centers on enhancing TriMet’s accessibility, reliability, and clarity, especially for riders with disabilities. Improvements such as clearer audio announcements not only support blind and low-vision riders but also create a better experience for all public transportation users in our community.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, exploring Portland’s parks and trails, playing chess, and connecting with new people. You can often find me along the river, especially crossing the Tilikum Bridge or following the Waterfront Park Trail.
富兰克林-乌奇达
A Native Oregonian and Japanese American, hails from a family of Marionberry farmers in Gresham. His journey has seen him in various careers, but his unwavering commitment to helping others has remained constant. In 2012, a life-altering event led him to dedicate a significant portion of his life to empowering individuals with disabilities in the community. His mission is to unveil the rich tapestry of the disabled community in Oregon and the city’s beauty. Accompanied by his service dog, Cutie, Franklin traverses the city on TriMet fixed-line buses and TriMet LIFT, a testament to his unwavering dedication. Franklin’s involvement in several non-profit organizations is fueled by his deep passion for making people with disabilities, especially wheelchair users, more visible in public spaces. His belief in the importance of nature and human connections is not just a part of his life; it is his life. Oregon Wheelchair hiking, his favorite activity, is a testament to this. Join him on a stroll and experience the beauty of Oregon together. Franklin’s goal is to unite services to support all disabled individuals in the community. He is inspired by Jan Campbell, CAT President and other advocates in the city, whose dedication to ensuring safe and accessible transportation for everyone motivates him. With his expertise and experience, Franklin is committed to enhancing accessible transit for all residents in the Portland metro area.
克劳迪娅-罗伯逊
副主席
Claudia Robertson, who most recently served as Vice Chair, was a longtime and deeply valued member of the Committee on Accessible Transportation (CAT). She passed away peacefully in January 2026. Claudia’s dedication, leadership, and institutional knowledge have made a lasting impact on the committee and the transit community. She was a passionate advocate for equitable and inclusive transportation, and her contributions will be remembered by all who worked alongside her. In recognition of her decades of advocacy and leadership, the TriMet Board of Directors presented Claudia’s family with a formal resolution honoring her legacy. She will be greatly missed.
Quintin Roldan
My name is Quintin Roldan, and I am a lifelong Oregon resident who grew up in the Rockwood/Gresham community in the Portland metropolitan area. I have relied on TriMet Transit system since childhood, which has given me a firsthand understanding of how public transportation has evolved over the years. I have seen many improvements in accessibility, safety, and service, while also recognizing the challenges that remain for older adults and people with disabilities.
As a DeafBlind transit rider, I understand the importance of accessible, reliable, and inclusive transportation. Public transit plays a vital role in connecting people to healthcare, employment, education, and their communities. My lived experience has given me insight into the barriers that some riders continue to face and the importance of ensuring that every rider can travel safely and independently.
I am interested in serving on TriMet’s Committee on Accessible Transportation because I want to help improve accessibility for all riders. I believe that listening to the experiences of people with disabilities and older adults is essential to creating a transit system that serves everyone. I look forward to working collaboratively with committee members and TriMet staff to provide constructive feedback and help shape a more accessible and equitable transit system for our region.
Madeline Temple
我叫玛德琳（她/她）。我是一名同性恋者，特林吉特人，还是一名残疾人。我在阿拉斯加东南部出生长大，那里森林与海洋交汇，社区底蕴深厚。风雨潮汐养育了我，艰难困苦塑造了我。为了寻找自我，我离开了阿拉斯加，在加利福尼亚待了一段时间，自 2019 年以来，我一直把Portland 当做自己的家。
我从小就知道饥饿和艰难的选择。公共交通是我一生的生命线。小时候，为了养家糊口，我独自一人乘坐城市公交车去粮食银行。我一直没有驾照，但我总能找到前进的方向。我现在使用TriMet LIFT 服务出行，这大大提高了我的生活质量和独立性。
我的身体带着一个让我失望的系统留下的伤疤。2018 年，在多年的医疗疏忽之后，一位医生错误地选择了以护理的名义打断我的双腿。从那时起，我每天都生活在慢性疼痛和身体限制中。我被诊断患有多种疾病，包括 cPTSD、艾勒斯-丹洛斯综合征（Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome）、腺肌症、体位性正位性心动过速综合征（POTS）。我的残疾是动态的。有的时候我可以彻夜跳舞，有的时候我甚至无法下床。我的身体既是战场，也是复原图。我的局限性并非源于我的身体，而是源于那些并非为我这样的人而建立的系统和空间。
我曾经作为一名教师茁壮成长，但由于缺乏住宿条件，这个梦想变得难以为继。尽管有丰富的经验和光彩夺目的推荐信，但即使是 "文职工作 "也常常会遇到无形的障碍。我们的文化往往将生产率视为衡量价值的唯一标准，而将休息或灵活性视为失败。我每天都在挑战这个问题，我存在、创造并倡导一个承认不同形式价值的世界。
我的宣传始于生存。当没有人为我挺身而出时，我学会了为自己挺身而出。现在，我为其他人说话，这样他们就不必面对我所做的事情，我将永远为那些需要帮助或无法为自己说话的人说话。
在我的个人时间里，我从美好的事物中找到快乐：和我的猫在一起、烹饪、制作艺术品、装扮自己、举办派对和玩电子游戏。我还花时间做志愿者，参加宣传和心理健康方面的课程，并寻找其他方法来支持我的同伴，改善我的社区。
能够有机会担任无障碍交通委员会的成员，我感到非常兴奋，希望我能够出色地完成任务，并在我的岗位上发挥应有的作用。
我没有一长串的成就或成就清单（还没有！），但我的故事仍在书写。我的人生才刚刚开始。我在这里，尽我所能，心中充满爱与火焰，未来充满无限可能。
Kyenne Williams
Born in Eugene, spent my first 10 years in the Midwest before returning to Oregon and graduating high school in Newport.
As a teenager, the gas crisis in the mid-70s got my attention and I made a decision then that I would never have a car and be part of what appeared to be an insane system. In all honesty, there have been many times I regretted that decision, and I held myself to it regardless. Not driving allowed me to travel all over the world and meet a tremendous variety of people on trains and buses, as well as hitchhiking, walking and biking.
I had the opportunity to to see close-up and in person how the majority of people do not have cars and somehow have figured out a system to get around that brings them into community and engage engagement. When I return to Portland, I was immediately enamored of the bus system (raindrops and deer symbols) and decided that I would only live in cities that could provide a similar breadth and quality of transit.
After living in other cities for a dozen years, I came back to Portland in the early 90s and worked at OHSU, Multnomah County, the Housing Authority of Portland, and the city of Portland — notably, all employers who provide their their workers with the means to get around w/o a car. I was able to buy a house with the money I saved from not having to own and maintain a vehicle.
Wherever I worked, I’ve been known as a “bus girl” because I happily explained to people how to use the bus to get where they were going, how to get more information, and most importantly why they should give it a try. I worked extensively with refugees and emigrants, as well as senior citizens and economically challenged families, where access to the transit system was essential to successfully making a home in Portland.
Applying to be part of CAT is a way to continue those efforts now that I’m semi-retired, and join an organization that I value very highly.
Alternate Members
Natalia Moloney
I am Natalia Moloney. I am a woman who is blind. I utilize TriMet fixed route buses, MAX, Streetcar and TriMet Lift. I am a singer, writer, speaker, animal lover, a dog trainer of my own service dogs. I am a cook, baker, am learning the Irish/Gaeilge language and a teacher for people who are blind and visually impaired. I chose to join the CAT committee because I love helping people. And providing my opinion on the CAT is a way for me to assist in making a difference. Additionally, I love public transportation and utilize it as much as possible.
Eli Yoder
My name is Eli (he/they) and I am an Oregon native who has lived in the Portland area since 2023. I am a new (alternate) member of the CAT team. I have a genetic condition that has caused me to use various mobility aids since I was a preteen, and have been a wheelchair user for several years. I am hard of hearing and live with PTSD.
I have a lot of interest in making public transportation more accessible, as I cannot drive and rely on Trimet for appointments, social events, and more. I joined CAT after being encouraged by folks on TriMet’s social media team.
I spent a couple of years working in special education in another city while working on a degree in education because I wanted to do something meaningful, and as I navigated through numerous barriers, I realized that it wasn’t the field for me. I went through a series of challenging events and lost my job due to the progression of my disability affecting my access to transportation, and from there lost my housing. Since moving to Portland, I have been able to get connected to more resources and have spent my time here advocating for my fellow homeless youth and young adults. Once I obtain housing again, I will be returning to school to finish my degree, but in social work instead because it is a much-needed service in our community.
My goal with CAT is to work towards improving disability access in transportation and to work with other disabled people with lived experience. Working with people who understand that disabilities affect how you move through the world is something that is very important to me. As many as 60% of homeless people have a physical or mental disability, and our experiences are rarely included in the conversations about access. Creating a public transportation network that allows people of all walks of life to remain connected to their communities is a priority for me.
My favorite place to go in the city is probably Lower Macleay Park on their paved disability access trail, with Gateway Discovery Park as a close second. I love spending time outdoors and am always looking for more places I can access independently.
