TriMet to hold open houses on service cuts

TriMet is reducing spending and cutting service to close a $300 million annual budget gap. The transit agency estimates it will need to cut at least 10% of service by the end of 2027.

You can help shape the future of transit service.

TriMet will hold several open houses next month to share more information with the community. This is an opportunity for you to hear directly from TriMet staff, ask questions and provide feedback.

A multilingual open house will be held 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14, at the Rosewood Initiative. Information will be available in the English, Spanish, Burmese, Dari and Rohingya languages.

Another open house will be held in East Multnomah County, from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16, at Fairview City Hall. This open house will be in English and Spanish.

Additionally, five virtual open houses will be conducted via Zoom.

You can also share your thoughts in TriMet’s online Service Priorities Survey, open through Oct. 31.
