The current state of TV Highway is not safe for pedestrians and transit users. This project will include improvements such as the addition of sidewalks and bus shelters.

Travel time on TriMet's Line 57 is nearly double that of auto travel time. The TV Highway project seeks to address this.

Line 57 is very important to the people who use it. The 57 has the fifth highest ridership in the TriMet system and it saw less drop off in ridership than nearly all other frequent service lines as a result of COVID.

Regional partners are working together to explore investment options along Tualatin Valley Highway, or TV Highway, between the Beaverton Transit Center and Forest Grove to make transit access safer, provides a more dignified rider experience, and makes the bus run faster and more reliably.

The TV Highway Transit Project is coordinated with a community-led equitable development strategy. The equitbale development strategy focuses on increasing meaningful involvement in transportation planning and identifying opportunities for nonprofit, government and private sector partners to support current community and businesses ahead of, through and after the implementation of transportation investments.
