ABSTRACT: PORTAL is the official Archived Data User Service (ADUS) for the Portland Metropolitan region as specified in the Regional ITS Architecture. PORTAL provides a centralized, electronic database that facilitates the collection, archiving, and sharing of information/data for public agencies within the region. The PORTAL data archive is a valuable resource for both researchers and practitioners. PORTAL has supported projects such as the SWARM evaluation, development of Arterial Performance measures, and the 2035 Regional Transportation Plan and the Regional Freight and Goods Movement Plan. PORTAL will be a necessary tool for implementing the region's Congestion Management Process and for add valuable information to the development of transportation system plans, corridor planning, and system management and operations. This project provides two years of funding (with anticipated additional years of support) to sustain and enhance PORTAL. Work supported by this project includes PORTAL maintenance, training, support, sustainability, and enhancements such as the addition of new data or new reports.
