Board votes in April 2026
TriMet wants to shorten the MAX Green Line, and the agency’s Board of Directors will vote on the plan in April 2026.
If approved, trains would stop running between the Gateway Transit Center and downtown Portland. The Green Line would only operate between Gateway and Clackamas Town Center.
The cuts would take effect on August 23, 2026, as TriMet tries to close a $300 million annual budget gap caused by rising costs and fewer riders since the pandemic.
