Please take our Service Priorities Survey before it closes tomorrow, Oct. 31! The survey will help us as we prepare to reduce service to help bring our spending in line with our revenues.
Cutting service is never something we want to do. But acting now to address a significant annual budget gap will allow TriMet to continue serving our community well into the future.
Visit trimet.org/servicecuts to learn more and share your thoughts with TriMet.
We will make our first round of smaller, budget-related service cuts on Sunday, Nov. 30. We are reducing service on five bus lines, during evening hours, when fewer people are riding.

Southwest 4th Avenue has a new look! With TriMet’s support, our partners at the Portland Bureau of Transportation have added a Business Access & Transit (BAT) lane and other improvements between Caruthers and Mill streets.
Starting Friday, these upgrades will help our buses move safely around traffic, getting riders where they need to go faster and more reliably.
Do you ride Line 57-TV Hwy/Forest Grove, or otherwise live, work or recreate near Tualatin Valley Highway?
TriMet needs your help! We’re looking for people to join the Community Advisory Committee for the Tualatin Valley Highway Transit & Safety Project. The project will bring TriMet FX® service to one of Washington County’s busiest transportation corridors by 2030. Apply by Nov. 14!
We appreciate our riders’ patience during our weeklong MAX project in October, which improved parts of our system which have been serving riders for decades.
This work supported the ongoing renovation of the NE 82nd Ave MAX Station, one of our busiest MAX stations. We also replaced the rail on the tightest turn in our light rail system — the big “fish hook” heading out to PDX. The result is a smoother, more reliable MAX ride.
The latest and greatest TriMet bus shelters are popping up at select stops across our service area! Keep an eye out for this new generation of shelters — our first new regular bus shelter design in 30 years.
These shelters are more durable and comfortable in all weather conditions, plus they have improved lighting. Many will also feature new digital displays with real-time arrival information.
More and more of our MAX stations are getting blue-light security phones. Any time of day, whenever you need to reach security, you can simply push a button and connect directly with our Security Operations Center. You can also call or text our 24-hour security hotline at 503-238-7433 (RIDE).
About 30 of our MAX stations have the kiosks, and we’re installing 30 more in the coming weeks. Click here to learn how they work.
Thirty years ago, a first-of-its-kind conference was held in Portland — championed and co-organized by then-future congressman Earl Blumenauer. Rail~Volution, as it was called, was a big success. It soon became an annual event that is now called Mpact, which represents “Mobility, Community, Possibility.”
We were thrilled to welcome Mpact back to Portland for its 30th anniversary this week! TriMet co-hosted this year’s conference with our friends at Metro and the Portland Bureau of Transportation. It brought together some of the brightest minds in public transportation and urban planning, and showcased what we’ve accomplished over the years.
The TriMet Board of Directors will hold a retreat on Nov. 12 at Gresham City Hall. Its next regular business meeting will be held at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 10.
The Committee on Accessible Transportation will hold its next business meeting at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19.
