Tired of staying at home during the rain? 🌧️ Pull up to these nine spots for fun indoor activities. They're all close to MAX and bus lines 🚈 🚌 blog.trimet.org/2026/03/16/rid…

Our service proposals now make changes to 34 lines, with the proposals for the following 10 lines updated based on recent feedback from riders and the public: 10, 16, 19, 34, 38, 58, 63, 96, 97 and 156. No changes will be made to lines 22 and 23 at this time. Service proposals remain centered on network efficiency, combining lines or reducing where lines run near others, eliminating some bus lines and moving routes. Our goal is maintaining as much service as possible while focusing our service investment where it is needed and used most. The proposals are online now. To provide feedback, you can e-mail the TriMet Board of Directors or pre-register to give virtual or in-person testimony: Wednesday, March 18: Board listening session Wednesday, March 25: Board public hearing Go to trimet.org/servicecutsto learn more about the service changes and cuts, and how to share feedback with TriMet’s Board. All but one of the proposed changes will take effect Aug. 23, 2026, if approved by TriMet’s Board. We thank our community for the feedback we received to help inform the updated proposals and shape the future of our transit service.

Here's a question we often get: "How does TriMet know that I paid my fare when I tap my phone or credit card?" Answer: Our Customer Safety Supervisors use handheld devices that quickly scan your Hop card, credit/debit card or phone to make sure you have a valid fare.

TriMet General Manager Sam Desue Jr. announced today 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.

Weigh in on Planned Bus and MAX Service Changes and Cuts We know you depend on us, and service cuts are always our last resort. But with rising costs and less money coming in, we must reduce spending now to avoid more severe cuts down the road, which would affect many more riders. In July 2025, we announced a $300 million annual budget gap. We have already reduced spending by about $150 million and that’s before the larger service changes and cuts we’re now proposing. We reduced spending mostly through cutting internal expenses, reducing staff and pausing future bus service increases. Our new service change proposals center on network efficiency, combining lines or reducing where lines run near others. We propose eliminating some bus lines and moving routes to maintain as much service as possible. This focuses our service investment where it is needed and used most. While we are keeping frequency on higher used lines, some proposals reduce how often buses arrive at times when fewer people are riding. Go to trimet.org/servicecuts to learn more about the service cuts, share your feedback this month and help us shape the future of our transit service. The survey closes Jan. 31.
