Some 10 months after we broke ground on “A Better Red,” our MAX Red Line extension and improvement project, we’re making notable progress. Continued work on a new light rail bridge for the project will mean no MAX Red Line service for the weekend of July 30-31.
Use shuttle buses to travel between Gateway Transit Center and Portland International Airport during the disruption. Learn more at trimet.org/maxredline.
Mark your calendars! It’s all aboard for our community-wide kickoff of TriMet FX(™) on Saturday, Sept. 17! You’re invited to come along for a free celebration ride the day before we launch our new FX 2-Division (Frequent Express) bus line!
FX will be faster, higher-capacity and more efficient bus service along the Division Street corridor, from Downtown Portland to Gresham. Visit trimet.org/fx to stay up to date on important project and celebration updates!
Ever dream of getting every green light as you travel down a busy street? We’re using technology powered by artificial intelligence that will give our big, green FX buses the advantage of fewer red lights along Division Street. See how it works!
What’s it like to sit behind the wheel of a 40-foot, 20-ton bus? Our drivers-in-training tell us it’s easier than you might think, thanks to our team of talented trainers!
The decision to become a bus driver is working for new operator Anthony Albright. He’s a millennial who says his career change is fueling his dream of becoming a homeowner. Know someone looking for a fun, stable, great-paying job? Send them to trimet.org/driveforus.
We’re building on our commitment to transit equity with a new executive leadership position: Chief Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility Officer. Our Chief IDEA Officer will
continue to advance TriMet’s commitment to equity and move forward efforts to ensure all are welcome inside our agency and on the transit system.
Congratulations to John Gardner for earning a well-deserved promotion to the role after seven years leading TriMet’s Transit Equity, Inclusion and Community Affairs Division.
Relief is on the way for riders who qualify for our reduced fare based on income. For the next two years, we’ll use resources from Keep Oregon Moving to give a free month pass to everyone who signs up!
The pass will provide unlimited rides on TriMet buses and trains for the participant’s first month of enrollment. Learn more and get steps for signing up at trimet.org/save.
The site of an underused TriMet Park & Ride is poised to give rise to a thriving library in the heart of Gresham. This is thanks to a partnership between TriMet and Multnomah County.
The county wants to purchase part of the Gresham City Hall Park & Ride to site a new flagship building. It’ll be similar in size and stature to Downtown Portland’s Central Library.
Our MAX light rail system uses a complex system of counterweights to keep sagging overhead wires tight during extreme heat. When the mercury hits 100 degrees, the counterweights can reach their limit. That’s why we slow all trains across the system when temperatures reach 100. This gives operators time to make visual inspections and avoid potential weather-related issues before they cause concern.
