The Tualatin Valley Highway Transit Project Steering Committee guides the project and provides partner input and support. Metro and TriMet convened the committee in January 2022. The committee engages community members in order to represent their perspectives, concerns and priorities for this project. It is charged with advancing the project through key decision points and recommending a funding strategy.
On Feb. 13, the project Steering Committee recommended a locally preferred alternative (LPA), which identifies the project’s transit mode, route and general station locations. Learn more.
