On Aug. 30, TriMet MAX Orange Line test trains will begin running frequently along the 7.3-mile route between Downtown Portland and north Clackamas County in preparation for its opening Sept. 12

 

TriMet says the MAX Orange Line will improve transit along the corridor that extends from the terminus of the MAX Green and Yellow lines at Portland State University in Downtown Portland to South Waterfront, SE Portland, Milwaukie and North Clackamas County, making the Orange line 60 miles long. There are now 10 new MAX stations for a total of 97 stations systemwide.

Partners on the project include the Federal Transit Administration, state of Oregon, Clackamas County, Metro, city of Milwaukie, Multnomah County, city of Oregon City, Oregon Department of Transportation, city of Portland, Portland Development Commission and TriMet.
