August ’24 Transit Service Changes

Welcome aboard! We’re excited to continue rolling out our Forward Together Revised Service Concept, with service improvements designed to increase ridership and create better connections to jobs and services for people with low and limited incomes. Forward Together was developed with the community in response to travel changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Improvements for fall 2024 include:

  • More service
  • New and extended lines
  • Improved schedules for schools

 

New, changed and discontinued routes

MAX Red Line Extension

Happening Wednesday, Aug. 28: Our 10-station extension of the MAX Red Line officially launches! A soft launch of service happens Aug. 25, so you’ll see trains running on the extension before the official opening.

Late-Night/Early-Morning MAX Service

We’re introducing bus service that will run in place of MAX trains during late-night and early-morning hours. This will allow for more overnight maintenance projects and fewer multi-day service disruptions to help improve your riding experience.
