Subject: TriMet Service Cuts Proposal

 

Due to the continued economic recession and declining payroll tax revenues, TriMet must cut its Fiscal Year 2011 budget by $27 million, which includes a 5 percent administrative cut, a salary and hiring freeze, reductions to bus and MAX service, and a five-cent fare increase. 

 

Our proposed service cuts, which would take effect in September, include discontinuation of 4 bus lines and frequency reductions on buses and MAX. 

 

We have begun a three-month comment and refinement phase where the public can help shape the final service cut plan.

 

To learn more about the proposed cuts and how you can provide your feedback go to the following link: http://www.trimet.org/news/september2010proposal.htm 

 

Please forward this information to your facilities, providers, and clients.  Feel free to contact me with questions or concerns at the return email address or at (503) 962-4883.  I am also happy to come to speak to you or your advisory committees about the proposal.

 

Sincerely,

 

Tom Mills

Service Planner

TriMet
