TriMet announced extensive service and staffing cuts. These actions address a $300 million budget shortfall. The agency will eliminate over 400 positions and reduce 31 bus routes. Ridership has not returned to pre-pandemic levels, and operating costs have risen significantly. TriMet also ceased some specialized paratransit services and anticipates further adjustments.
