Transportation

TriMet will not turn away anyone riding to a cool place who cannot afford to pay fare. TriMet asks riders to let their driver know they are headed to a cool place. 

When riding transit during extreme heat, riders will want to plan extra time and check trimet.org/alerts before traveling, as there may be heat-related delays to service. 

Anyone who needs transportation support to a cool space can also dial 2-1-1 (866-698-6155).
