TriMet

This November, TriMet crews will make improvements to a 100-foot section of the MAX system in Southwest Portland. This will require a short disruption to the MAX Blue and Red lines near the Galleria/SW 10th Ave MAX Station, with work taking place on Southwest 11th Avenue and Morrison Street. 

t’s unheard of for every graduate of a TriMet training class to share one unique trait. But that’s what happened earlier this month when more than a dozen MAX trainees made the jump into the operator’s seat.

Behind a pair of chrome and glass sliding doors sits the new nerve center for TriMet’s security operations: the Security Operations Center. Now, in a first for TriMet, the center pulls together agency’s security resources under one roof–including the security hotline, first established last year. Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it anchors TriMet’s ongoing safety and security efforts.

A new security resource for connecting to TriMet’s 24/7 security hotline has started to appear at MAX stations. To seek it out, just look for the blue light. In a first for TriMet, “blue-light security phones” are being installed at most MAX platforms, starting this week at the Rose Quarter Transit Center and the Convention Center Station. It’s the latest in TriMet’s ongoing efforts to comprehensively address our riders’ safety concerns and deter crime. 

We were thrilled to celebrate $69 million of public investment in the future of clean transit with the Portland Bureau of Transportation and elected officials on Thursday. Special thanks to U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer and U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici for joining our General Manager, Sam Desue Jr., on stage at the future home of our Columbia Operations Facility! This site will support our zero-emissions bus fleet, including hydrogen fuel-cell electric buses we plan to purchase and put into service by the end of this decade. 🚌 ⚡
