TriMet is one of many transit agencies nationwide navigating a funding crisis. Rising costs and declining revenues are forcing difficult decisions about service across the country.

The TriMet Board has adopted a budget with $1.14 billion for service, operations, capital/maintenance projects and other requirements, begins July 1, 2026. It reduces overall spending by about $64.5 million, mostly through 170 employee layoffs and eliminating hundreds of other positions.

These cuts reduce the long-term deficit, but a $160 million gap remains. Without new funding, TriMet will need to make extreme cuts to our service. We must reduce service levels by at least 10% by July 2028 to bring them in line with operating revenue.

* Reduced bus frequency on nine lines during lower ridership hours * Pausing planned future bus service increases * Internal spending cuts * A staffing reduction

Even with those cuts, rising costs and falling revenues have outpaced our savings and pushed our deficit to $224 million today. * Transit operating costs are up 56% on average since 2019, including rising fuel costs * Payroll tax, fare and federal revenues are not keeping up with cost increases

TriMet is one of many transit agencies nationwide navigating a funding crisis. Rising costs and declining revenues are forcing difficult decisions about service across the country.

In 2024, we asked the Legislature to increase transit funding through the Statewide Transportation Improvement Fund. When that funding did not pass in 2025, we announced a $300 million annual budget deficit. Between July 2025 and March 2026, TriMet reduced expenses by about $150 million through:

It’s the end of the line for our Type 1 trains. After nearly 40 years of service, they’re broken down at Radius Recycling so their materials can live on in other projects.

We have a few left in service, but the best way to guarantee seeing one is to come to our farewell party this Saturday 🥳 You can take a picture in the cab, leave a message on the exterior of the train, order special Type 1 merch and learn more about their legacy.

Our service proposals now make changes to 34 lines, with the proposals for the following 10 lines updated based on recent feedback from riders and the public: 10, 16, 19, 34, 38, 58, 63, 96, 97 and 156. No changes will be made to lines 22 and 23 at this time.

We thank our community for the feedback we received to help inform the updated proposals and shape the future of our transit service.

Service proposals remain centered on network efficiency, combining lines or reducing where lines run near others, eliminating some bus lines and moving routes. Our goal is maintaining as much service as possible while focusing our service investment where it is needed and used most.

The proposals are online now. To provide feedback, you can e-mail the TriMet Board of Directors or pre-register to give virtual or in-person testimony: Wednesday, March 18: Board listening session Wednesday, March 25: Board public hearing
