The University of Oregon Sustainable City Year Program is partnering with TriMet, the tri-county transit agency in Portland, Oregon.

TriMet builds, operates, and maintains the regional transit network, connecting people with their community while easing traffic congestion and reducing air pollution — improving quality of life and making the region a better place to live.
