Collaborations that Count
NW Connector Regional Transit System surpasses 1 million bus miles
The Northwest Connector Network, a partnership of transit districts in Benton, Clatsop, Columbia, Lincoln and Tillamook counties, surpassed 1.1 million bus miles in 2017, carrying over 188,000 passengers. Additionally passengers riding the NW Connector in 2017 are estimated to have saved over 5 million in vehicle miles traveled, which translates into estimated 1.3 tons of CO2 or greenhouse gas emissions avoided.
The Northwest Connector Network is a major regional public transit network that connects the Willamette Valley to multiple locations on the central to northern Oregon coast. Five County public transit services, including Benton County, operate the network in conjunction with two Tribal transit systems and other regional partners including Marion-Polk County, Yamhill County, and TriMet. The Coast To Valley Express service is Benton County’s “leg” of the Northwest Connector network.
The Northwest Connector network has been awarded a total of four separate national or regional awards for public transit excellence, from organizations such as the National Association of Development Organizations; the Community Transit Association of America; and the Women’s Transportation Seminar.
Established in 2013, the NW Connector is a regional transit system that has coordinated schedules between the 5 transit districts allowing riders to travel from Astoria to Yachats on the Coast, and between the Coast and Portland, Salem and Corvallis.

Health Department OHP Navigators assist at OSU mass vaccination clinics
During the January 2018 meningococcal B disease mass vaccination clinics at Oregon State University’s Corvallis campus, eight Benton County Health Navigators assisted on site.
The Health Navigators assisted OSU undergraduate students with Oregon Health Plan (OHP) enrollment and information, plus provided any social resource information and navigation needed. County Health Navigators have worked with OSU events in the past, but this was the first time as a “mass vaccination” enrollment event.
The clinics were held to help students meet the new university requirement that all OSU Corvallis students 25 and under must be vaccinated against meningococcal B by Feb. 15. This new requirement results from a sixth OSU undergraduate student since November 2016 being diagnosed with this disease.
The eight Health Navigators completed a total of 151 OHP applications, which covered 165 students.
The second round of vaccination clinics were held Tuesday, Feb. 13 to Thursday, Feb. 15. Although there was a lower turnout of students, three Health Navigators assisted 70 individuals and completed 27 applications.

El Sistema de Tránsito Conector Regional NW supera 1 millón de millas recorridas por autobuses
La Red del Conector Noroeste, una alianza de los distritos de tránsito de los condados de Benton, Clatsop, Columbia, Lincoln y Tillamook, superó 1.1 millones de millas recorridas en 2017, transportando a más de 188 000 pasajeros. Además, se estima que los pasajeros que usaron el Conector NW en 2017 ahorraron más de 5 millones de millas recorridas en sus vehículos, lo cual significa que se evitaron aproximadamente 1.3 toneladas de emisiones de CO2 o gases de efecto invernadero.
La Red del Conector Noroeste es una importante red de tránsito público regional, que conecta el Valle Willamette con varios lugares de la costa central y norte de Oregón. Cinco servicios de transporte público de los condados, incluido el Condado de Benton, operan la red junto con los sistemas de tránsito Tribal y otros socios regionales como el Condado Marion-Polk County, el Condado Yamhill, y TriMet. El servicio “Coast To Valley Express” es el tramo de la Red del Conector Noroeste que le corresponde al Condado de Benton.
La Red del Conector Noroeste ha recibido en total cuatro premios nacionales o regionales por excelencia en el transporte público, de parte de organizaciones como la Asociación Nacional de Organizaciones de Desarrollo, la Asociación de Tránsito Comunitario de América, y el Seminario de Transporte de las Mujeres.
Creado en 2013, el Conector Noroeste es un sistema de tránsito regional que tiene agendas coordinadas entre los 5 distritos de tránsito, permitiendo a los pasajeros a viajar desde Astoria hasta Yachats en la costa, y entre la costa y Portland, Salem y Corvallis.

Asesores del Plan de Salud de Oregón ofrecen ayuda en las clínicas de vacunación masiva de OSU
Ocho Asesores de salud del Condado de Benton estuvieron presentes para ayudar durante las clínicas de vacunación masiva contra la enfermedad meningocócica del grupo B que se llevaron a cabo en el mes de enero de 2018 en el campus de Corvallis de la Universidad Estatal de Oregón (OSU, por sus siglas en inglés).
Los Asesores de salud ayudaron a los estudiantes de diplomatura de la OSU con información y con el proceso de inscripción en el Plan de Salud de Oregón (OHP, por sus siglas en inglés), además de ofrecer cualquier información sobre recursos sociales y orientación necesaria. Los Asesores de salud del condado han colaborado en eventos anteriores de la OSU, pero esta fue la primera vez que lo hicieron en el marco de un evento de inscripción a una “vacunación masiva”.
Las clínicas se realizaron para ayudar a los estudiantes a cumplir con el nuevo requisito de la universidad, que exige que todos los estudiantes de OSU Corvallis que tengan 25 años o menos deban estar vacunados contra el meningococo B antes del 15 de febrero. Este nuevo requisito surgió a raíz del sexto caso de un estudiante de diplomatura de la OSU diagnosticado con esta enfermedad desde noviembre de 2016.
Los ocho Asesores de salud rellenaron en total 151 solicitudes de inscripción en el OHP, correspondientes a la cobertura de 165 estudiantes.
La segunda tanda de clínicas de vacunación se llevó a cabo entre el martes 13 y el jueves 15 de febrero. A pesar de que haya asistido un número menor de estudiantes, tres Asesores de salud ayudaron a 70 personas y rellenaron 27 solicitudes.
