As you may have heard, TriMet is facing a serious budget shortfall. After years of rising costs and less money coming in from fares, our expenses are now greater than our revenues.
So far, we've been able to cover this budget gap with our reserves. But that money will run out.
To ensure we can continue delivering safe, reliable and convenient service into the future, we’re taking action now to match our expenses with our revenues.
In addition to administrative cuts already under way, we need to reduce service beginning in November 2025.
Service cuts are always our last resort, but by reducing spending now, we avoid more severe cuts down the road, which would affect many more riders.
We know you depend on us.
Unfortunately, without additional state funding and other revenue, service cuts are necessary to balance our budget and keep TriMet financially sound.
Go to trimet.org/servicecuts to learn more about the service cuts, share your feedback and help us shape the future of our transit service.
