Summary
TriMet purchased five electric buses thanks to a federal grant and support from Portland General Electric. These buses will operate on 62-Murray Blvd in Beaverton. This route — which runs from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., covers 13 miles and climbs nearly 700 feet in elevation — allows TriMet to test these buses under tough, real-world conditions getting a sense of overall performance. The plan is to understand how these buses handle everyday wear-and-tear and what maintenance schedules should be.
