ITS THE WES!

DOESN'T LOOK GOOD FOR THE NEW BOY IN TOWN

This afternoon, four of the 16 WES trips will be provided by shuttle buses due to an electrical malfunction affecting one of the DMU trains. Riders traveling between Beaverton, Tigard, Tualatin and Wilsonville should expect to add about 10 minutes to their commute via the shuttle. Crews will be working through the weekend to repair the train, but may need to have shuttle buses provide some service during next week’s commute.

WES riders traveling northbound from Wilsonville at 4:26 p.m. and 5:56 p.m. and traveling southbound from Beaverton Transit Center at 5:03 p.m. and 6:33 p.m. will need to take shuttle buses. In Wilsonville, board shuttle across from the station platform. At other stops, board shuttle buses at Line 76-Beaverton/Tualatin bus stops. More
