TriMet

Ozzie is training to become the youngest bus driver in TriMet history 🥰

⚠️Heads up ⚠️

🔵🔴 MAX Blue and Red line trains will be disrupted between the Galleria/SW 10th Ave and Providence Park MAX stations from Nov. 16 through Nov. 17.

Shuttle buses will be running about every 5 minutes.

The disruption will allow our crews to make track improvements on SW Morrison Street near 11th Avenue.

Some trips may take longer than usual. Please plan ahead, and thank you for your patience.

See how to make your way around the disruption at trimet.org/improvements
