WHEN & WHERE TO FIND FALL SCHEDULES

TriMet is working to reduce dependence on paper schedules and expand options for customers
to get information by phone or computer. Schedules for all bus and rail lines have been
reprinted for the fall service change. Distribution of printed schedules is focused on making
them available just before and after the service change, when customers need them most.
Late July Aug 29-
