Forward Together

Help shape the future of TriMet bus service.

Working with the community, TriMet developed the Forward Together service concept to guide our bus service improvements over the coming years. Forward Together responds to post-pandemic needs and ways people travel. Our goal is to increase ridership and expand service, especially for people experiencing low and limited incomes. Forward Together will bring bus service to 50,000 more people and weekend service to 100,000 more, with significant increases to frequent bus service, connecting more people to jobs and opportunity.

 

The Forward Together Service Concept proposes to:

  • Expand the Frequent Service bus network (buses every 15 minutes throughout the day).
  • Extend bus service to new areas and expand weekend service.
  • Add more local bus service running every 30 minutes.
  • Add new bus lines serving areas that are currently far from transit.

Improvements are underway

We started implementing Forward Together service improvements in 2023 and will continue as quickly as staffing levels allow.
