Reduce service hours on three low-ridership bus lines to only run buses during peak travel time for high school students: 1-Vermont, 18-Hillside and 26-Thurman/NW 18th.Cancel two bus lines: 50-Cedar Mill and 92-South Beaverton Express.“While rebounding from this historic operator shortage will take some time, TriMet is committed to hiring scores of new operators to meet the needs of our community.” Temporary service level reductionsīeginning with our fall service change in September, TriMet will shift, reduce or cancel some service, with a focus on low ridership lines and times. But by reducing our service levels, we increase our schedule reliability so riders experience fewer canceled or late buses,” said TriMet General Manager Sam Desue, Jr. “We would much rather be expanding our transit service. We aim to begin adding back the service hours in 2023 as long as our operator ranks continue to increase. Reduced service will take affect starting on September 18, 2022. While most of the affected lines currently see low ridership, TriMet took a balanced and careful approach with an eye on preserving service in areas with high concentrations of people with low-incomes and communities of color. This comes amid the largest operator shortage in agency history. TriMet is adjusting service on 10 bus lines this fall as we temporarily reduce service levels based on our available workforce.
Beginning with our fall service change in September, TriMet will shift, reduce or cancel some service until operator numbers increase further
