Linking Tualatin

The long-range plan for transit investment and expansion in Tualatin. 

The plan tries to address the following issues: 

1. Ways to help employees and residents get to and from their jobs more easily; identifying ways to reduce car use, while improving walking and bicycle connections.
    
2. Focusing on last-mile connections in major employment areas such as the Tualatin Town Center, Nyberg Woods and Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center, Bridgeport Village, the Leveton District, and the rest of the city's western industrial area.

How is the plan being accomplished?

Transit service operation, planning, and investment is a large effort involving regional and local players. Tualatin works in coordination with TriMet that operates the Westside Express Service (WES), park-and-rides and bus lines, as well as Ride Connection, which operates the Tualatin Shuttle. The City helps advocate for further investment through TriMet's Transit Investment Plan (TIP) and grant programs through Metro or Washington County. 

The TriMet and Metro led Southwest Corridor Plan is an effort to establish a MAX line connecting Portland to Tualatin via Bridgeport Village. The policies and plans detailed in Linking Tualatin will help inform the design and connection of this transit line to our community.
