The Portland Metro area transit provider TriMet is continuing its implementation of the Forward Together Service Concept with several updated bus line proposals. On Thursday, January 25th, people can join a virtual Open House from 5 to 6 p.m. or attend in-person events the following week. These changes affect riders throughout the transportation system, and some updates could impact Montavilla residents.
Most bus line updates impact riders outside the neighborhood, but one change could impact area riders. In the proposal, bus line 25 would extend on Glisan Street to Reynolds High School and Mt. Hood Community College. TriMet will also increase the frequency of trips and hours of operation.
The Forward Together Service Concept is focused on growing ridership and improving connections for people with low and limited incomes. The full implementation of this plan will take 3 to 6 years to reach its goals. However, the transit operator intends to make meaningful changes regularly to move the system towards those goals. Riders will see some of those newly proposed bus service changes as early as August 2024. For those who can not attend the online Open House presentation, TriMet has three in-person events listed below.
