From Southwest Portland to Tigard, Tualatin and Sherwood, a vision to keep growing communities moving.

Learn about the proposed route and station designs for the proposed new light rail line in the Southwest Corridor on Trimet's project website.

From Tualatin and Sherwood to Tigard and Southwest Portland, more people are choosing to live, work and play in the Southwest Corridor.

The Southwest Corridor Plan is a comprehensive vision for the investments needed to keep this area moving and support the people who live here today as the area grows.

Metro created an Equitable Development Strategy with local partners to explore how a proposed light rail and other investments can support community development and improve the quality of life for people of all incomes and backgrounds.

Planning for a new MAX line in the Southwest Corridor is on hold pending identification of necessary funding. The federal environmental review process will still continue, however, and is expected to be completed in early 2021. Please see the Project Library for information on environmental review and past planning work. Information on recent planning work including a conceptual design report is available on the TriMet project website.
