Take TriMet's survey on proposed services cuts

In light of a serious budget shortfall, TriMet is asking the community which of its services are most valuable via a Service Priorities Survey. The survey will inform current and future budget cuts. 


TriMet is considering cutting its portion of funding that supports community and job connector shuttle services operated in Washington County by Ride Connection Inc. These shuttles serve areas with little or no public transportation. Other potential cuts could include reducing frequency of bus and MAX services, eductions to night or weekend bus service or elimination of lines with few users. 


Provide your feedback about the transit services that matter to you. Learn about virtual or in-person open houses and take the TriMet Service Priorities Survey through Oct. 31.
