DIVISION TRANSIT PROJECT
Better bus service coming to SE Division The Division Transit Project will be a first for our community—high-capacity bus service providing faster, more reliable trips. As population and businesses along SE Division Street rapidly grow, impacts on traffic, including public transit, also increase. The Line 4-Division is one of TriMet’s most popular bus lines, with more than 10,000 daily rides between Downtown Portland and Gresham. With this high ridership come challenges, however, such as crowded buses, full buses passing riders waiting at stops, and traffic congestion behind buses making frequent stops to pick up riders. The Division Transit Project will improve service along Division and help keep traffic moving while supporting increasing ridership in the future. Faster, easier, more reliable The 15-mile Division Transit Project will improve bus service between Downtown Portland, Southeast and East Portland and Gresham by providing • longer, three-door buses with room for 60% more riders • bus stops that may include amenities such as weather protection • multiple-door boarding for quicker stops • transit signal priority—traffic signals prioritize bus travel, getting riders to their destinations faster • stations placed where there is greatest rider demand, to maximize travel times while making important transit connections Together, these improvements will reduce travel times up to 20 percent, I-205 5th & Davis with buses running every 15 minutes Irving & 5th* and even more often during rush hour. 5th & Washington 6th & Flanders Additionally, the project will build 6th & Stark 5th & Salmon stations appropriate to their setting 5th & Columbia along Division Street.
