TriMet fare increase planned for fall 2011

A fare increase is proposed for September 2011 to help cover the rising costs of providing bus and rail service, and to avoid further major service cuts. Like most years, we plan to raise adult single fares by 5 cents. We also propose raising the price of an Adult 1-Month Pass by $4 and the annual All-Zone pass by $44. The TriMet Board of Directors is expected to vote on the proposals at its May 25 meeting. Read the proposed budget and provide comments by Friday, May 20, 2011.
