Clackamas Town Center stops moved Red Line MAX service increased.

Last year, some Tri-Met buses got stuck in the Clackamas Town Center parking lot, a mad house over "Black Friday" weekend. This year, buses won't even go there, instead stopping at temporary stops on Monterey Ave., just north of the mall cinemas. Click here to learn more about temporary changes at Clackamas Town Center.

Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving is one of the busiest days of travel at the Portland International Airport, therefore one of the busiest days on the MAX Red Line. Service will be increased between 3:30 a.m. and 11 p.m. between the Beaverton Transit Center and PDX. Click here for tips on ways to improve your trip to and fro' the airport.

Friday is a big day in the heart of Portland - folks heading in and out of downtown for the My Macy's Holiday Parade in the morning, the Holiday Tree Lighting in the evening and shopping throughout the day. The Portland Trail Blazers and Winterhawks are scheduled to play in the Rose Quarter, too. Tri-Met reminds MAX riders the "free rail zone" between Lloyd Center and Downtown Portland no longer exists. Fares are required for all bus and train trips. Click here to learn more about getting around by Tri-Met on Friday.
