They will preserve the Line 97 Tualatin-Sherwood by combining it to the Line 38-Boones Ferry.

Over more than a month of give-and-take discussions, the city of Tualatin and TriMet, the regional transit service, have collaborated to narrow the gap between TriMet’s service cuts and the concerns of city leaders and residents, according to the city’s mayor. The tone of the dialogue has mostly eased since late December, when Tualatin Mayor
#triMet safety meeting really kicks it off with the public testimony 🔥 #BusRidersUnite
portland MAX is obviously less efficient than skytrain..... but i always feel myself being drawn to it. no system i've ridden anywhere in the world has the vibes of MAX. street running through city centres with beautiful landscaping and public art, and rocketing through industrial and agricultural land like a big train. it feels like a modern reincarnation of the golden age of interurbans. i think that's just lovely.
MAX is also probably one of the best light rail systems for comfort and accessibility and ease of use. it's a very well designed and well operated system. i admire it a lot. trimet is also a nice agency and i think they do great work. what other agency would have a rider's fan club with free train parts giveaways and exclusive tours? what other agency would have a sticker on every vehicle reminding you of your civil rights? trimet is kinda based.
i do love skytrain and i wouldnt give up skytrain for anything in the world. but MAX is just so nice, its a close second on my favourites.

Grateful for @trimet.org's leadership, and for the community voices who have pushed the agency to prioritize bus service on 82nd Avenue. This is a victory for healthier, more affordable and more equitable neighborhoods in East Portland. https://loom.ly/M0czKOY https://news.trimet.org/2026/02/transit-priority-lane-decision-keeps-82nd-avenue-transit-project-moving-forward-but-funding-questions-remain/
#triMet board member calls out #Oregon state #transportation dept #trafficEngineers for clinging to disproven pseudoscience Level of Service aka V/C in #E82ndAve planning. #InducedDemand couched in the "safety" concerns about cars backing-up on the freeway offramps. #Portland metro will never be free of this braindead worship of the highway manual until we remove that authority from ODOT. #ODOTGTFOpdx
In #Essen speist die #Aluminiumhütte von #Trimet nun industrielle #Abwärme ins #Fernwärmenetz von #Iqony ein.
Die dabei jährlich genutzten 31.000 MWh decken rechnerisch den #Wärmebedarf von über 5.500 Haushalten in #Essen, #Bottrop und #Gelsenkirchen. Möglich wurde das durch #Wärmetauscher an den #Elektrolyseöfen und technische Anpassungen im Werk.

Im Ruhrgebiet wird die industrielle Abwärme aus der Aluminiumproduktion für die Wärmeversorgung genutzt. So speist das Unternehmen Trimet Wärme aus dem Werk in Essen in das Fernwärmenetz von Iqony ein. Nach Angaben der Unternehmen profitieren Haushalte in drei Städten davon.
