Route and Lane Design
The 82nd Avenue Transit Project is bringing TriMet FX® — Frequent Express — to 82nd Avenue. The design phase for the 82nd Avenue Transit Project is expected to conclude in early 2027. This page features information about what the project could look like. We want to hear from you.
Current design
Features include
- Consolidation of existing stops to create higher-quality stations near safe pedestrian crossings, with shelters, lighting, real-time bus arrival information and curb ramps
- Transit signal priority (TSP), where buses and signals communicate to prioritize faster trips for people riding the bus
- Higher curbs and longer buses with all-door boarding to make boarding easier and faster
- Business Access and Transit (BAT) lanes, where the existing curbside travel lane would be converted into a BAT lane, reserved for buses and right-turning vehicles. The extent of this feature is still being explored.
Design Process
Design of an FX project is an ongoing process that incorporates input from the public to develop a proposal that best meets our community's needs within the funding that is available.
Lanes for buses and other traffic
Throughout spring 2025, we heard from the community that it would be important to understand how BAT lanes would work on 82nd Avenue. Based on that valuable feedback, we’ve developed the design now under consideration. We expect to make decisions in early 2026 about where the project includes BAT lanes.
Design proposal
These maps provide more detail about all the proposed changes to 82nd Ave. We’re actively seeking feedback from neighbors, businesses and property owners along 82nd Ave.
