🚊 Type 1 is Going Away... Soon-ish 🚊
We'll be gradually phasing out our Type 1 MAX trains to make room for the new Type 6 trains. Watch our most popular Instagram video ever!
We don't have an *official* date for Type 1's final ride, but we'll keep you in the loop in the coming months! If you spot a Type 1 train out in the wild, be sure to tag us (@trimet) so we can see your #GoodbyeType1 post! 😢
🚈 Speaking of Trains... 🚈
Have you ever wondered which "type" of MAX train you're looking at? Just look at the first digit of the train number! Watch the full video here.
💅 LIFT Gets Glam 💅
We recently teamed up with the North Pole Studio to create some amazing wraps for LIFT — our shared-ride service for people who are unable to use regular buses and trains due to a disability or disabling health condition.
North Pole Studio supports careers in the arts, and exists to increase opportunities for artists with autism and intellectual/developmental disabilities to thrive as active members of the arts community.
 Art on the LIFT bus:
We have two more LIFT buses with new art rolling out — stay tuned to our socials to see them soon!
🧑🏽💻 New Digital Signs 📊
Have you seen our new digital signs around the system? They'll be added to more bus stops and MAX stations to make it easier for you to find arrival times!
We're aiming to complete the digital sign installations by the end of the year. 🙌

Take TriMet to Portland Timbers and Portland Thorns FC games in 2024! Your game ticket will serve as a ticket to ride buses and MAX to the stadium!
How does this work?

📸 Photo of the Month 📸
Here's one of the first MAX cars to arrive, in 1984.
Light rail service between Downtown Portland and Gresham began two years later.
K I'm going to go find a pumpkin spice latte now. ☕️ 👀
