 See what we’ve been up to at TriMet!
New schedules for all MAX lines and many bus lines take effect this Sunday. We’re also adjusting some bus routes and moving stop locations at the Beaverton, Oregon City and Tigard transit centers. The Skidmore Fountain MAX Station closes permanently as we speed up service through Downtown Portland.
With these changes, MAX arrival times will shift by as much as 8 minutes! Avoid surprises: Check trimet.org before your next trip and visit trimet.org/servicechange for more information.
The section of our MAX system that travels through the deepest transit station in North America will shut down for track and overhead wire improvements next month. Work in the tunnel under Washington Park will temporarily disrupt service on the MAX Blue and Red lines.
Shuttle buses will run in place of trains between the Sunset Transit Center and Providence Park MAX Station from Sept. 7-13. Plan up to 45 minutes of extra time for trips, and learn more here.
The Oregon Legislature will return to Salem next week for a special session dedicated to transportation funding. Included in the proposal is a 0.1% increase in the employee payroll tax that supports transit service.
We’re already preparing to reduce service to address our budget shortfall, but service cuts will be more severe if lawmakers fail to act.
New digital displays, QR codes and website improvements make it easy to get around on TriMet! Real-time information gives you confidence that you’ll get where you need to go, when you expect to get there.
Read all about it, watch our new video, then check out our better-than-ever interactive map on trimet.org — and look out for more ways we’re making riding easier, coming soon!
We’re accepting feedback until Sept. 15 on our draft language access plan. This plan guides our efforts to break down language barriers and ensure our transit service is welcoming for all, including riders who speak languages other than English.
Learn more and submit your feedback at languageaccess@trimet.org. The public comment period closes Monday, Sept. 15.
Do you live, work or recreate in Beaverton? The City of Beaverton is updating its transportation system plan and asking you to share your experience!
Eighteen TriMet bus lines, two MAX lines and WES provide transit service in Beaverton. TriMet is a vital part of how Beaverton moves!
The new school year is nearly here! For thousands of students in our service area, including all of the high schoolers in Portland Public Schools, the TriMet bus is the school bus.
The first day of school will also be many students’ first time on transit. We put together a blog that we call “TriMet 101” to help them get off to a good start. Learn how to plan trips, track your bus or train, and find out why you need to tap your school ID to the Hop reader every time you ride. Check it out and share the link with your teen, so they’ll be ready to roll on day one.
The TriMet Board of Directors will hold its next regular business meeting at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24.
The Committee on Accessible Transportation will hold its next business meeting at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 17.
