Service animals are welcome on TriMet. No permit is required, but you may be asked to confirm that your animal is a service animal.

You are responsible for the care and supervision of your animal while on board. If you are planning on riding TriMet with a service animal, please follow these guidelines:

  • Your animal must be on a leash or in a container, remain under your control and behave appropriately.
  • Birds, reptiles, amphibians and rodents must be kept in an enclosed carrier/container.
  • The animal must remain at your feet or on your lap. The animal may not sit on a vehicle seat.
  • The animal must not be aggressive toward people or other animals.
  • You are responsible for any damage or soiling caused by the animal.

If you have any questions about bringing your service animal on TriMet, please call us at 503-962-4904 or email accessible@trimet.org.
