2.3.1 TriMet Service

TriMet provides transit service to residents and employees throughout Washington County. Services
include MAX light rail, WES commuter rail, and fixed-route bus, and LIFT/paratransit.

MAX
TriMet’s Red and Blue MAX lines serve Washington County. The Blue Line connects Hillsboro with
Gresham via downtown Portland. The Red Line connects Beaverton and the Airport via downtown
Portland. The Red Line will extend to Hillsboro Fair Complex in 2024. These lines will share the same
route between Fair Complex and I-205 in East Portland and both make connections to other MAX
lines, including the Yellow, Green, and Orange lines. Together the Red and Blue MAX lines provide the
spine for transit mobility, accounting for nearly 40 percent of all weekday ridership in Washington
5
County.

The Beaverton Transit Center is a key transfer point between MAX, WES, and bus lines.
