TriMet is currently seeking public comments on proposed service cuts and changes to Fareless Square that would take effect in September 2009.
Your feedback will help shape our final service cut and Fareless Square proposals, which will be announced to the public and presented to the TriMet Board of Directors on March 25, 2009.
We invite you to learn more about the proposed changes below, and send us your feedback by email, phone or mail. (Please submit your comments by 5 p.m., Friday, April 10, 2009.) Or, you can attend a public hearing in early April.
Service cuts proposed for buses and MAX
Due to the weak economy, TriMet is facing a $13.5 million budget shortfall, which is forcing us to make a 5% cut in programs and services agency wide. After taking a number of steps to reduce costs and improve efficiency, we are proposing reductions in bus and MAX service, including the discontinuation of some low-ridership bus lines, effective in September 2009.
Fareless Square changes proposed
After a year-long review of TriMet's fare-free zone, we're seeking feedback on 4 proposed options for Fareless Square.
