Planning for a three-week MAX disruption
Start making plans! Our next big service disruption for work on “A Better Red” is coming soon when MAX Blue, Green and Red lines will be disrupted from Sunday, April 16 through Saturday, May 6. Shuttle buses will serve stations between Gateway Transit Center and the NE 7th Ave MAX station. During this time, Green Line trains will run only between Gateway and Clackamas Town Center, and Red Line trains will run only between Gateway and Portland International Airport.
We’re encouraging riders to plan an extra 30 minutes for travel during the disruption or take regular bus service or other transportation. Find details on getting around the disruption at trimet.org/improvements.
