🚦 What is Transit Signal Priority? 🚦
Transit signal priority reduces the amount of time buses spend sitting at red lights, which means riders get to their destination more quickly.
TriMet teamed up with PBOT to bring transit signal priority to three intersections along Southwest Capitol Highway at Bertha Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard and Terwilliger Boulevard 🚦🚌
