TriMet Transit Advertising Policy and Standards

To comply with the recent court ruling in Karuk Tribe et al  v. TriMet, TriMet is suspending its Advertising Policy and Standards authorized by the General Manager on January 8, 2008. Although TriMet respectfully disagrees with the court's order and is taking steps to seek review, TriMet will allow transit advertising submissions that are not misleading, do not have an adverse effect on the health, safety and welfare of its customers, and do not unduly interfere with TriMet's stated purpose and/or confuse the viewer as to the identity of its true sponsor.  It is not, however, TriMet's intent to create a public forum with this interim approach; rather, TriMet's intent is to comply with the court order until such time as it is reversed.
