TriMet (Oregon) has finalized service cuts to buses and MAX, along with a historic reduction in staffing, set to go into effect this summer. The cuts are intended to address a roughly $300 million structural budget deficit that TriMet first identified about a year ago. Although the agency reduced costs by about $150 million through staffing and service cuts last fall, the deficit has continued to grow amid rising operating expenses, officials said. https://www.transittalent.com/articles/index.cfm?story=TriMet_Board_Approves_Service_Reductions_Layoffs_05-27-2026
