How to Start a Transportation Program

Arrow symbolSetting up a student transportation program is easy. And your TriMet marketing representative is here to help. We'll provide the expert help you need to move forward and make your program a success.

Step 1: Choose your program and subsidy level

Your TriMet marketing representative will help you find the transit pass program and commute options that are the best fit for your school. Whether or not to subsidize is a big decision, but offering a subsidy is a proven way to motivate students to use other commute options.

Step 2: Choose your transportation coordinator

Your transportation coordinator (TC) acts as a liaison between your school and TriMet. TCs act as your in-house resource for developing and managing a transportation program and motivating students to make the most of TriMet services.
