September 1 changes will help TriMet keep service on the streets while closing its budget gap

Say goodbye to complicated fare zones because they are going away early this fall. Beginning September 1, transit riders will be able to use one fare to go anywhere in TriMet's system. Riders should buy only the zone tickets they need now, use them up this month or upgrade* them at the TriMet Ticket Office at Pioneer Courthouse Square. Portland's free rail zone is also going away, an action expected to generate nearly $3 million to help close TriMet's $12 million budget shortfall.
