Free Shuttle Connects TriMet Riders in Hillsboro

Nov. 9, 2015

There’s a new bus shuttle that now serves North Hillsboro, connecting people to jobs, education, community services and events. Best of all, it’s free!

TriMet has teamed up with local non-profit Ride Connection and the Hillsboro Chamber to offer this service, officially called North Hillsboro Link.

This shuttle is perfect for commuters going to and from Orenco Station where they can connect with the MAX Blue Line or with bus Line 47-Baseline/Evergreen.

North Hillsboro Link — fully funded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) — also offers service to major employers such as Intel, Radisys, FEI and Reser’s Fine Foods, among many others. Service begins at 5:29 a.m. and lasts until almost 7 p.m. All shuttles also have bike racks and wheelchair-accessible lifts.

Flexible Routes

Shuttle drivers won’t pass riders by; if they're along the route and not near a designated stop, they simply signal to the driver to stop. Riders can also can request stops along the route when boarding, along with being picked up or dropped off outside the route for one leg of the trip. Just call our friends at Ride Connection at 503-226-0700.
