TriMet

TriMet is celebrating a $25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation that will support the construction of a zero-emissions bus facility in Northeast Portland! The Columbia Operations Facility is essential to meeting our goal of a fully zero-emissions bus fleet by 2040. Read all about it: https://lnkd.in/gNRv9gSb

In the latest edition of TriMet on the Move, our monthly newsletter, we remember when a 14-year-old wrote the book on our transit agency! Back in the mid-1970s, David Bragdon rode every single one of our (at the time) 65 bus lines in the course of creating “A Bus Rider’s Manual, or Everything You Need to Know About Tri-Met But Didn’t Know Who to Ask.” The young author went on to serve on the Metro Council, as a planning director for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and most recently as — no surprise here — a transportation strategist.
