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. For purposes of study, the maps on this page show BAT lanes for seven miles ("More BAT Lanes"), which is being considered along with "Some BAT Lanes," a scenario with BAT lanes for three miles.
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 2025, we heard from the community that it would be important to understand how BAT lanes would work on 82nd Avenue. 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. Please note that the extent of BAT lanes has not been determined, and the “More BAT Lanes” scenario is included in these maps only for purposes of study. We’re actively seeking feedback from neighbors, businesses and property owners along 82nd Ave.
