See what we've been up to at TriMet!
Heading out on the town for New Year’s Eve? Make TriMet part of the celebration! Our long-running tradition of providing free rides after 8 p.m. returns on Tuesday, Dec. 31. We’re also extending MAX service hours into the early morning hours of New Year’s Day 2025.
Our partners at C-TRAN and Portland Streetcar are also lifting fares to help keep everyone safe. Take transit to and from the festivities — and never drink and drive.
Winter officially arrives this weekend, and TriMet is ready! We have more than 68 tons of deicer on hand, five sets of tire chains for each of our 650+ buses, and a big new machine to help clear MAX tracks of snow and debris! When freezing temps or snowflakes appear in the forecast, we also ask our riders to do their part:
Be ready before the storm hits! Sign up for service alerts at trimet.org/email.
There’s a new way to get answers to your TriMet questions: Chat with our Customer Service reps! Just go to trimet.org/chat, click the “chat” button and ask away! Chat is one of many ways to get in touch. You can also text or call 503-238-7433 (RIDE) and connect with us on social media.
More than 2,800 TriMet employees are represented by the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 757. TriMet’s new, four-year Working and Wage Agreement with our union workers took effect on Dec. 1, giving them a 4% pay increase, access to a child care subsidy and more! Many of our union positions come with a $7,500 hiring bonus, and we’re hiring! Visit trimet.org/careers to learn more and apply.
Join the 82nd Avenue Transit Project Community Advisory Committee (CAC), and you could be part of the biggest transit improvement project ever to come to the Avenue of Roses. We’re working to bring our next TriMet FX® – Frequent Express – to one of the region’s busiest roadways. You can help! Visit trimet.org/82nd to apply to serve on the CAC. Applications will be accepted through Monday, Jan. 27.
More stations are being power washed, more surfaces are being scrubbed and more litter is being removed from our system than ever before, thanks to the ongoing efforts of our 'Clean Team.'
They are on track to pressure wash MAX stations more than 2,000 times in 2024. That's a feat never before accomplished. See the work that goes into sprucing up the system, for you!
We all love to cheer on our favorite team at Providence Park. But driving isn’t the best way to get there. Traffic can be heavy, finding a parking spot is a pain and those match-day parking fees? Forget about it. There’s a better way to go: TriMet!
Your ticket to any Portland Timbers or Portland Thorns home game is valid fare on TriMet buses and MAX for up to three hours before and after the game. New for 2025: Providence Park concert tickets will also be accepted as fare on TriMet! Learn more at trimet.org/providencepark.
A lot has happened on TriMet in 2024! This year, we:
Take a look back with our 2024 Year-in-Review video!
