Service Alert: Extreme Weather Update

Good afternoon, all TriMet bus lines scheduled today are running, but MAX service remains temporarily suspended at this hour. Riders are encouraged to avoid traveling, if at all possible, until after the next phase of the storm - the forecasted freezing rain - comes through tomorrow. If you are traveling by transit, plan ahead by checking trimet.org/alerts before you go and limit trips only to those that are necessary. Conditions on major roads have improved, and for those who do need to travel today, TriMet bus service is the best transit option. A few buses are still being detoured around trouble spots but most buses are not chained. For those buses that are chained for safety, we remind riders they can travel no faster than 25 miles per hour and may not be on time. Buses are running on Sunday schedules in observance of Martin Luther King Day. You can follow the real time locations of buses using the map on our website, trimet.org. Still expect some delays due to the conditions, dress warmly and check trimet.org/alerts for immediate information about weather-related impacts. Also, please note that TriMet's Customer Support Center will be closed Tuesday, Jan. 16 due to weather conditions. And as always, TriMet will not turn away anyone traveling to or from a warming shelter who is unable to pay fare until further notice. We ask those folks to let the bus operator know that they are heading to or from a warming shelter. We have links to the counties? shelters and tips for riding TriMet during wintry weather at trimet.org/winterweather.
