This fall, Westside Transportation Alliance and our Get There partners are bringing three exciting opportunities to help people rethink their daily commute and try new ways to get around. Check out the individual campaigns and get ready to take part!

What would change in your life if driving wasn’t an option? What changes when you cannot drive somewhere? Does an errand or a doctor’s appointment become a full-day commitment? Does a job become a question of access, not ability? If you can drive and have access to a car, these questions might be answered quickly and simply. But these questions reveal how much we assume everyone drives. That assumption reveals who has access and who gets left out. When you don’t drive, everyt

Westside Transportation Alliance is celebrating #TDMWeek 2026! One size doesn't fit all when it comes to getting where you're going. That's the power of transportation options! September 14-18 is #TDMWeek, and we're celebrating the many ways that TDM puts choices back in our communities' hands.

Save money, get active, live more sustainably & win prizes! Oregon’s annual Get There Challenge is on Oct. 1-14, 2026, providing a timely opportunity to save money, get active, and live more sustainably by driving less for the chance to win prizes.

Starting September 11, 2026, all lanes of I-5 southbound will be closed through the Rose Quarter between I-405 and I-84 around the clock for up to 5 weeks. One lane will remain open from I-405 to the Broadway exit at the Moda Center. Closures are expected to cause the worst traffic in the region's history. PBOT is encouraging travelers and commuters to change their habits and plans to accommodate for increased travel times and congestion.

Long, expensive commutes can reduce job satisfaction, contribute to employee turnover, and make it harder to attract talent. Employers can help their workforce access a more affordable and sustainable commute through Oregon’s new Get There by Vanpool program.

"WTA is excited to welcome the City of Tualatin as our newest member," said WTA Executive Director, Jeff Pazdalski. "We look forward to working with the City on activities that benefit Tualatin's employees and residents."

It's been a busy summer for WTA! We've been out in the community connecting with neighbors, businesses, and transportation enthusiasts at events across the Westside. In July, we joined the Westside Sustainable Living Fair on July 18, sharing information about transportation options and ways to make everyday trips more sustainable. We also co-hosted the Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce morning Coffee Connection on July 31 at the Beaverton Round, bringing together local busin

If you're a frequent rider of Lines 45, or 96, you need to know about some major changes coming to your usual route. To help inform riders, we worked with the City of Tigard, City of Tualatin, TriMet, our business members, and TriMet to post supplemental rider alert information at select stops in Washington County with pending service changes or cuts.

MAX Blue and Red Line trains resumed regular service on Sunday, Aug. 9. During the two-week project, July 26 through Aug. 8, crews upgraded three rail crossings. These are the parts of the system where the rail, road and sidewalks merge. Crews improved drainage near the crossings, helping to redirect road runoff. They also repaired rail and repaved sections of the street along Southwest Merlo Road, Southwest 170th Avenue and West Baseline Road.

To make sure these recommendations reflect the direction of Oregonians, the Rebuilding Our Transportation Vision Workgroup wants to hear from you about your transportation priorities. This is an opportunity to tell policymakers and state leaders how you think transportation dollars should be spent.

TriMet has updated the changes and cuts on deck for August 23, 2026. On the Westside, changing services include: 20 - Burnside/Stark, 76 - Hall/Greenburg, 45 - Garden Home, 37 - Lake Grove, 38 - Boones Ferry Rd, 58 - Canyon Rd, 96 - Tualatin / I-5, 97 - Tualatin-Sherwood Rd, and LIFT Paratransit Service.

Starting July 26, through August 8, expect Westside MAX trips to take an extra 15 to 30 minutes longer than usual as TriMet works to improve at-grade crossings along the alignment.

Washington County’s SPOT Southwest microtransit pilot program has achieved remarkable early success, exceeding performance expectations and demonstrating strong community demand for flexible transit options in its first six months of operation.

Metro, state, and regional partners have created a draft Regional Vanpool Action Plan to address the lack of vanpooling opportunities in the region and capitalize on an opportunity provided by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to support vanpool programming and subsidies for a limited duration. Metro is seeking feedback on the plan and participation in a survey to measure attitudes and awareness of vanpooling. Click here to learn more about the program.
