The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded a $673,374 Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending (CFDA 20.534) grant to the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) on June 17, 2024. This initial grant agreement will fund preliminary engineering activities for the 82nd Avenue MAX Station Improvement Project, which aims to modernize one of the oldest light rail stations in TriMet's MAX system. The grant will support upgrades such as new shelters, signage, benches, and other amenities to improve the rider experience and address increased transfers from planned bus rapid transit improvements on Line 72. The remaining $2,326,626 of the total $3,000,000 award will be added when NEPA environmental review is completed. This project is part of TriMet's efforts to enhance safety, accessibility, and ridership recovery across its transit network, with a focus on serving the 82nd Avenue corridor, a priority equity area.
