🚌 82nd Avenue Transit Project Update 🚌
TriMet General Manager Sam Desue Jr. announced a key decision regarding Business Access and Transit (BAT) lanes being designed for the 82nd Avenue Transit Project.
The decision directs the project team to advance design for BAT lanes along nearly all seven miles of SE 82nd Avenue between NE Lombard and SE Clatsop.
This balances operational improvements with community input and keeps the project on track to receive federal funding. However, this approach on BAT lanes could add to the overall cost of the project and project partners must identify and commit additional funding for the extent of BAT lanes by this July.
The one intersection where BAT lanes will not be considered is at SE 82nd and Powell Boulevard due to impacts to the broader transportation network, project funding and schedule.

🧼 Rider Tip: How Does TriMet Know if I Tapped? 🧼
One of the most common questions we get from riders who pay for their rides by tapping their phone’s mobile wallet or a credit/debit card to a Hop reader is “How does TriMet know that I paid my fare?”
Tapping to pay your fare with your phone or a credit/debit card is easy, but it can make a fare inspection feel a bit like a mystery. If you’ve ever wondered how we verify that you’ve paid your fare when you tap, this is the blog post for you!
