Metro

Tri-Met views security as a top priority. As a result, we're continually working to make your transit trip as safe as possible.

Security Personnel

Thirty-three (33) sworn law enforcement officers, in addition to fare inspectors and supervisors, patrol and respond to transit emergencies.

Six (6) Rider Advocates ride buses and trains in North and Northeast Portland to provide a presence that discourages disruptive behavior. They carry radios to call for assistance if necessary.  TriMet contracts with the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods for this program.

Hi-Tech Assistance

  • Radios on all buses and MAX trains provide operators with access to help
  • All MAX trains and over half the bus fleet are currently equipped with security cameras
  • Tracking systems that pinpoint the exact location of buses and MAX helps speed response
  • Cameras monitor the Gresham, Sunset and Hillsboro parking garages
  • Cameras serve as a deterrent to criminal activity and the video can be used as evidence for prosecuting transit crimes

Tougher Penalties

To help maintain the safety and integrity of the transit system, TriMet has increased the penalty for fare evasion and disruptive behavior on buses and MAX.  The penalty for fare evasion has increased from $77 to up to a maximum of $250, and the maximum exclusion period has increased from 90 days to six months. Disruptive conduct and/or no proof of fare may result in fines, exclusion or arrest.

Night Stop

From 8PM-5AM bus operators will make special stops along the route for riders traveling alone.
