Were you one of the thousands that rode the new Trimet Orange line on Saturday, September 12, 2015?
The new Orange line goes from Milwaukie, Oregon to downtown Portland in 27 minutes. Those travelers that used to be stuck in traffic on 99-W or I-205 to I-84 into downtown now have a new way to travel. The Orange line connects with other Trimet routes, as well as, with the City Trolley.
All Orange line stations have bike racks, lockers, or keycard-access Bike & Ride facilities. Plus, for those taking their bike onto Trimet, each train has 8 designated bike spaces.
Do you want to Park & Ride? There are options. Keep in mind that SE Tacoma St/Johnson Creek Station is expected to fill up quickly during weekdays. An alternate option is the SE Park Station, as it has 401 spaces.
