Transit Partners — We are excited to share public transportation investment results in the 2023–2025 Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund report. These investments expanded transit access for seniors, veterans, youth, and people with disabilities in every Oregon county, while improving and growing transit options in rural and urban communities.
Positive impacts included:
- Significant transit service increases in eastern Oregon and along the Coast, including expansion of the Coastal Express linking communities along 122 miles of Highway 101.
- Improved transit access for older adults and people with disabilities, representing about a quarter of the total funded transit rides.
- Reduced fares for youth and tribal communities in areas with a high percentage of low-income households.
- Reduced fares for 137,000 high school students to reach school, extracurricular activities and essential services.
- 69 transit providers received funding.
- 50 intercommunity routes were supported improving mobility across regions.
- Investments in EV or hybrid buses reduced carbon emissions and helped support accessible and sustainable ways to travel.
