The Microtransit Pilot Project, a partnership between Washington County and Ride Connection, Inc, will expand public transportation options in the South Cooper Mountain, River Terrace and Progress Ridge areas starting in early 2026. Microtransit is a flexible shared-ride shuttle service that will pick up riders at a preferred location and transport them to schools, jobs, shopping, medical appointments, frequent TriMet services and other important destinations within a specified service zone. Riders will schedule rides using an app, website or phone. The pilot project will run for up to 18 months. It is funded in part by an Oregon Department of Transportation grant and locally prioritized employee payroll taxes.
Learn more about the pilot project and share your thoughts in the online open house and survey. Survey responses will help Washington County and Ride Connection decide the service area boundaries and hours of operation for the service.
