August ’23 Transit Service Changes
Welcome aboard! Based on community support, we’re excited to continue implementing the Forward Together Revised Service Concept focused on ridership and improving connections to jobs and services for people with low and limited incomes.
Woodstock/Glisan
We’re improving service with buses arriving every 30 minutes for more hours of the day, every day. To improve reliability buses will use Tilikum Crossing instead of Ross Island Bridge, and service will be discontinued on SE Rex and SE 32nd for faster trips.
We’re improving Line 35 service, with buses arriving every 30 minutes for more hours of the day, every day. We’ll also change the route with buses between Johns Landing and Lake Oswego alternating between Highway 43/Riverside (35R Macadam/Riverside) and Taylors Ferry and Terwilliger Blvd (35T Macadam/Terwilliger) to serve Lewis & Clark College and South Burlingame.
And, due to low ridership, we’re discontinuing Line 36.
Line 39 will be extended to serve the Arnold Creek neighborhood and Barbur Transit Center via Boones Ferry, Stephenson, 35th and Huber instead of serving Palatine Hill and Lewis & Clark College. Service will be reduced on weekdays to only run buses during peak travel time for Wells High School students.
We’re extending Line 51 service on SW Dosch Road via Sunset to Wells High School and SW Barbur and Bertha. Line 51 will end at Goose Hollow and no longer go to SW 2nd, but will continue to serve Lincoln High School.
We’re also reducing the number of Line 55 trips, due to low ridership and nearby service on Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway. Remaining buses will be timed for Wells High School students.
We’ll move Lines 75 and 77 out of Hollywood/NE 42nd Ave Transit Center to serve temporary stops on NE 42nd, Broadway and Halsey. This will allow for safe and reliable transit operations during renovation of the transit center and construction of the HollywoodHUB affordable housing development. Access will be maintained to and from the Hollywood Transit Center MAX Station.
We’re also extending evening service to Milwaukie on weekends on Line 75.
Line 66 will be discontinued due to low ridership and alternative service provided by Lines 8, 9 and MAX.
Tigard/Sherwood
We’re improving Line 94 service between Tigard and Sherwood with buses arriving every 20 minutes for more hours of the day, every day.
We’re also changing the route by removing Line 94 service between Tigard and Portland. Line 12 will continue to serve that area.
Macadam/McLoughlin
We’re changing the route with southbound buses moving to S. Moody through the South Waterfront to reduce delays and simplify the route.
Southwest Hills
We’re improving service on Lines 43 and 56, with buses arriving every 30 minutes for more hours of the day, every day. Lines 43 and 56 will provide service between Hillsdale to OHSU.
We’re upgrading Line 54 to Frequent Service, with buses arriving every 15 minutes for most hours of the day, every day.
We’re changing the route of Line 43 between Tigard and OHSU, moving buses off of S. Corbett, due to nearby service on Lines 12, 35 and 99. We’re also changing the route on Line 56 to OHSU, discontinuing service on SW Barbur due to nearby service on Lines 12 and 44.
Lines 61, 64, 65, 66 and 68 to OHSU are being discontinued and replaced by changes to service on Lines 43, 54 and 56, current service on Line 8, and Line 9 and MAX connecting with the Aerial Tram.
SW Capitol Rose Lane Project
Thanks to the City of Portland’s Rose Lane Project, bus speed and reliability have improved on Lines 44, 54, 56, and other routes.

Access will be maintained to and from the Hollywood Transit Center MAX Station.
