  • In an appeal to state lawmakers, TriMet is warning of "drastic" service cuts without a boost in state funding, claiming the agency faces a "fiscal cliff" in 2031.

TriMet, the public transit agency serving the Portland, Oregon area, has warned of potential drastic service cuts and fare increases if it does not receive additional funding from the state legislature. The agency is facing a $50 million budget shortfall due to declining ridership and increased operating costs.

The agency is urging the state to provide a dedicated funding source to help maintain and improve public transit services in the region.
