On March 1, TriMet reduced transit service on Lines 48 and 76 in Washington County as part of their ongoing work to close a $300 million budget gap.

WTA is getting getting ready for our first Commute Chats discussion group and there's still time to join the conversation. Commute Chats will be a casual, virtual space for employers and partners in Washington County to connect, share challenges, and exchange ideas around employee transportation commute programs. Whether you're just getting started or have a commute program in place, these conversations are a chance to learn what's working for others and bring practical ideas

The SW Allen Boulevard Street Plan will develop an implementation strategy for a multimodal corridor along SW Allen Boulevard (between SW Murray Boulevard and SW King Street just west of OR Highway 217) that reflects the varied needs and perspectives within the community and will enhance safety and comfort for walking, biking, and transit, while contributing to a vibrant and livable neighborhood.

This project aims to develop new segments of the Westside Regional Trail between NW 158th & Walker Rd to NW Kaiser Rd including a pedestrian bridge over U.S. Highway 26. The future trail segments and bridge will create a link connecting over 25-miles of regional trails for pedestrians and bicyclists to reach destinations across Washington County.

We're committed to making transportation options more affordable for our most vulnerable communities. That's why we're stepping up to fill a gap after TriMet discontinued their annual free month-pass benefit for reduced-fare card holders. Anyone who lives or works in Washington County, or is an employee of or affiliated with a member of Westside Transportation Alliance; and is a reduced-fare Hop Fastpass card holder is eligible for this benefit.

Priority Commuters who are reduced-fare Hop Fastpass cardholders are eligible to redeem one free-month pass per calendar year. If you're eligible, but not signed up for our Priority Commuters program, you can apply here ( https://www.wta-tma.org/priority-commuters ). On the dashboard, click "Rewards." On the Rewards page, select "Free Month Pass." If you don't see this option, you're likely not eligible because you're not enrolled in Priority Commuters, or you've already re
