TriMet Board of Directors

TriMet is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors, appointed by the Governor of Oregon.

Board members represent, and must live in, certain geographical districts. The term of office is four years, but a Board member serves at the pleasure of the Governor. The Board sets agency policy, enacts legislation (taxing and ordinances relating to policy ordinances), and reviews certain contracts.

Meetings & briefings

  • The Board meets from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on the fourth Wednesday of every month (except August and December). Meetings are open to the public and include a forum for citizen comments.
  • Meetings are held either at the City of Portland offices, 1120 SW 5th Ave., Room C, in downtown Portland, or at the TriMet Administrative Offices at 4012 SE 17th Ave. in Southeast Portland.
