TriMet is seeking community input on two new potential developments — one at the E 122nd/Menlo Park Park & Ride and the other at our E 181st Ave Park & Ride. We are exploring opportunities to reimagine how the park and rides are used, as we look to boost transit ridership and create benefits for the surrounding neighborhoods.

TriMet will be rolling out a more convenient way to purchase and reload Hop fare cards beginning in early December with the introduction of new touchscreen vending machines at five locations. They will allow riders to buy and reload plastic Hop cards at MAX stations and transit centers rather than the single-day-use Hop tickets dispensed by ticket vending machines today.

Starting Dec. 1, Line 81 will connect the Gresham Central Transit Center to jobs at the Troutdale Reynolds Industrial Park (TRIP) and Troutdale Airport — every day! Learn about this new weekend bus service and more in our upcoming service update ??

“This facility is a testament to the power of advocacy, resilience, and the unwavering dedication of one remarkable person, Jan Campbell,” said TriMet General Manager Sam Desue Jr. “Her leadership has set a high standard for accessibility and inclusion at TriMet, shaping our services to reflect values that matter—equity, dignity, inclusion and opportunity for all.”

We are always working to make our transit service better and more welcoming. To help us best support and communicate with riders who speak languages other than English, we want your feedback through a new survey. The survey is available in 14 languages to help us reach more people than ever before. This survey will help us continue to give a voice to everyone in our community.
