Due to the lack of sales tax, I propose funding TriMet through traffic cameras on the Transit Mall and Morrison/Yamhill and on buses. I often eat lunch overlooking the tracks downtown and usually notice at least one car every light cycle driving on the tracks.
For example for a three minute light cycle at one location there would be 20 cars per hour on a track. If they just levied $100 fines for an eight hour period each day this would collect about $5.8 million per year.
MTA is currently using cameras affixed to their buses to enforce bus lanes.
