It's going to be interesting because I'm going to try to take #TriMet from Beaverton to the East side of the river and the protest is scheduled for tomorrow.
Just drove west on SE #Division and the eastbound side is a disaster.
#TriMet buses are scattered along the route with their hazards on, and each one is backing up traffic for blocks. Saw it happen 3 times just between 42nd and 7th. Anyone know what is going on?

Revised #TriMet August 2026 service change proposals have just been released

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

The Line 96 will go to Lake Grove and Barbur TC, incorporating parts of the Line 37.

The Line 76 will once again terminate at Meridian Park Hospital.
