Portland’s Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) recently joined the Zipcar car sharing network to expand availability of vehicles at three TriMet park-and-ride facilities.

Zipcar will make available a total of six vehicles as a new option for MAX light rail riders to complete the “last mile” of their trips.

“We are always looking at ways to expand transportation options for our riders to get them to their final destination,” said Neil McFarlane, TriMet's general manager. “While TriMet provides convenient transit service throughout the region, our partnership with Zipcar helps give riders more options to travel without the need to have a car full-time.”
