Microtransit Pilot Project:
A flexible, shared-ride service
The Microtransit Pilot Project, a partnership between Washington County and Ride Connection, Inc(Link is external)., will expand public transportation options in the South Cooper Mountain, River Terrace and Progress Ridge areas starting in late 2025. In keeping with our project timeline, we are conducting public outreach.
- January-March 2025: Get vehicles and equipment
- January-September 2025: Hold public outreach and create service plans
- January 2026-April 2027: Operate service
Microtransit is a flexible shared-ride shuttle service that will pick up riders at a preferred location and transport them to schools, jobs, shopping, medical appointments, frequent TriMet services and other important destinations within a specified service zone. Riders will schedule rides using an app, website or phone.
The pilot project will run for up to 18 months. It is funded in part by an Oregon Department of Transportation grant and locally prioritized employee payroll taxes.
Watch here for a link to the April 25-May 23, online open house and survey to learn more about the pilot project and share your thoughts.
