PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • April 15, 2021
Greater Portland METRO is pausing efforts to revamp bus service on the Portland peninsula. We’re taking this step to further study and integrate future bus route changes on the peninsula into a region-wide bus system redesign effort that begins in May. Public transit struggles with achieving the right balance of covering as many places as possible and providing direct, quick service. We have an obligation to prioritize service for those who need it most. But our goal must be to create a regional mobility system that offers highly accessible mobility for riders who need it, along with simple and swift mobility for all. The Transit Together initiative will help us accomplish these goals. ~ Greg Jordan, Greater Portland Metro
