Transit service to the Lloyd District and other parts of Portland’s Central City is continually improving. In September 2009, TriMet will open the MAX Green Line between PSU and Clackamas Town Center, and both Green and Yellow Line trains will operate on the Downtown Transit Mall along 5th and 6th Avenues. This represents a significant increase in access to and from Southeast Portland and Clackamas. With the opening of the Green Line, Lloyd District commuters will notice shorter headways (trains arriving and departing with increased frequency), particularly during the peak-hour commute.

The future of transit in the Lloyd District includes the extension of the Portland Streetcar to the east side of the river. Entering Lloyd from Northwest Portland via the Broadway Bridge, the streetcar will travel on NE Broadway/Weidler Streets, NE 7th Avenue, NE Oregon Street, and NE Martin Luther King Boulevard/Grand Avenue. It will continue on MLK and Grand through the Central Eastside to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, and eventually cross the river again via a new bridge, completing the Central City Streetcar Loop.

Fare Converter

Transferring between C-TRAN and TriMet has always been tricky and the two service providers have only made it more confusing in the past couple of years. Thankfully TriMet has put together a table showing how its fares can be used on C-TRAN, and vice versa.  http://trimet.org/fares/transfers.htm

Purchasing Passes/Tickets

All types of TriMet tickets and monthly passes and some types of C-TRAN fares can be purchased at the TMA’s Commuter Connection transportation store – call for more information. In the Lloyd District, TriMet fares are also available at Safeway (1100 NE Broadway), Mail and More (950 Lloyd Center), and all MAX platforms.
