Long-term regional plans include the possibility of transit using the same right-of-way as the Council Creek Regional Trail. However, it is not likely feasible within the next 20 to 30 years. There are a number of other planning projects in the region that are considering how to make better transit connections to Forest Grove and Cornelius in the near and long-term. Review these projects to learn more.

TriMet's Forward Together Service Concept
The Forward Together Service Concept evaluated how ridership and travel changed during and coming out of the pandemic. Based on the analysis and public comment, in order to grow ridership they need to improve connections to more destinations and improve service for people with lower incomes. The Service Concept will guide TriMet’s annual service improvements over the next 3-6 years.
