Red Line

The Red Line is one of the five lines in the MAX Light Rail. It starts from the Beaverton Transit Center from the west and Portland International Airport to the east. The line opened on September 10, 2001.

History
Portland International Airport was running out of space to build parking lots. That is when the airport's owner (Port of Portland) approached TriMet to bring the MAX to the airport. The Airport MAX project was born.

Extensions
The original portion of the Red Line was from downtown Portland to Portland International Airport. In 2003, the Red Line was extended west to the Beaverton Transit Center.
