As the 2025 Oregon Legislature deliberates on road maintenance funding, public transit agencies warn they are financially depleted. The Oregon Transit Association emphasizes the urgency of increasing a state payroll tax five-fold to avoid drastic service reductions. Should this increase not materialize, transit agencies such as TriMet and Rogue Valley Transportation District may have to cut services by up to 30%, which could lead to serious economic, environmental, and societal consequences for the communities they serve.
Even some of the largest transit agencies like TriMet, Salem-Keizer [Cherriots] and Rogue Valley Transportation District will be forced to cut service as much as 30% in the next several years, with devastating impacts to our economy, environment and quality of life.
