1. 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 14-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 expanded into stations, with 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

2. New 60-foot articulated buses
with multiple-door boarding
make quicker stops at stations
and faster trips possible.

Together, these improvements will
reduce travel times up to 20 percent,
with buses running every 15 minutes
and even more often during rush hour.
Additionally, the project will build
stations appropriate to their setting
along Division Street. East of 82nd
Avenue, stations will be large and
comfortable with improved weather
protection, lighting and passenger
amenities. This portion of the route
will include improved accessible ramps,
sidewalks and pedestrian crossings
around stations and major intersections.
Stations west of 82nd Avenue will see
modest changes at stations to improve
the rider experience, such as added
weather protection.
Conceptual rendering subject to change; service branding to be determined.
FAST. EASY. RELIABLE.

Related bus service improvements
When this new high capacity bus service begins, it will replace Line-4 Division and
those service hours from Line 4-Division will be reallocated to existing and new
bus service in east Portland and east Multnomah County. The public outreach and
comment process for specific allocation of those hours will begin about 18 months
before the project’s scheduled opening, in 2021.
In addition, near-term improvements, including increased weekday frequency,
will be made to Line 20-Burnside/Stark to better serve students and employees of
Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham and connect them to the high capacity
bus service when it opens in 2021.
Project Funding
Project costs are approximately $175 million, with state, regional and local
contributions making up $75 million of that total. The project plans to apply
for $100 million in federal funding.
The project will connect Downtown Portland and Gresham, traveling
on SE Division Street through southeast and east Portland to the
Gresham Central Transit Center. Current plans call for this new service
to cross the Willamette River over Tilikum Crossing, Bridge of the People,
connecting the service with South Waterfront, OHSU, and PSU.
