Southwest Corridor (TriMet)

The Southwest Corridor is a proposed public transportation rail line in and near Portland, Oregon for TriMet's MAX Light Rail.

TriMet has not yet decided whether or not the line would be a new line or an extension of the Green Line.

Proposed route
The proposed route stretches from:


 * The Portland Transit Mall in Downtown Portland
 * Southbound following Barbur Boulevard and Interstate 5
 * Barbur Transit Center
 * Stations near Portland Community College Sylvania Campus
 * A station near Tigard Transit Center
 * Terminus at Bridgeport Village Mall

The rail line would go through the cities of Tigard and Tualatin.

History
TriMet and Metro began planning a line for Tigard and Tualatin in 2009. The initial design and environmental review phases were completed between 2016 and 2020.

In November 2020, voters rejected measure 26-218 which would have funded the project (and other transportation projects). Because of this, the project is temporarily suspended until alternative funding can be found.

TriMet proposes stations at:


 * Portland State University/Portland Transit Mall
 * SW Gibbs Street (Oregon Health & Science University/Portland Aerial Tram)

 * SW 13th Street
