Improvements are underway to make 82nd Avenue safer and more reliable to travel, including adding TriMet FX — Frequent Express — from Lombard Street to Clackamas Town Center. Upgrades are being designed to serve the transportation and transit needs of the community, with improved transit stations, new pedestrian crossings, sidewalks, lighting, and trees. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027 with new transit service beginning in 2029.

The 82nd Avenue corridor is a major route for the region connecting key destinations and communities in Clackamas County and Portland, Oregon (See Figure X) and supporting the movement of people and goods in a diverse and growing area.

The corridor disproportionately serves BIPOC, limited English proficiency, and low-income communities.

While built as a regional throughway over time 82^nd importance as a transit and pedestrian corridor has grown.

TriMet’s Line 72 Killingsworth/82 serves the 82nd Avenue corridor and is the highest ridership bus line in TriMet’s system1, Including the Orange or Yellow Max light rail lines. However, unlike light rail transit, the bus runs in mixed traffic and is often delayed. Line 72 is a frequent service route connecting riders to major destinations, high-capacity transit lines (the new Division FX2 and the MAX Green, Blue, and Red Lines), and over 20 bus routes just in the corridor. It is a workhorse with high ridership all day and weekends and saw relatively high retention of riders during the pandemic.

Recognizing the number of connections made between the current line 72 and other bus routes and max lines,

TriMet Planners are taking into consideration the transfer distance and the local services network to improve the rider experience.

You will see this with stop locations and consideration of consolidating under used stops and prioritizing stops that expand the network.
