For 10th straight year, TriMet helps holiday shoppers avoid hassles and headaches around Clackamas Town Center

Annual holiday detours of 11 bus lines begin on Black Friday, return for season’s busiest shopping days through December 26

It’s that time of year, when TriMet teams up with holiday helpers to keep people moving around Clackamas Town Center. The influx of shoppers on the busiest days of the season can bring parking lots to a standstill. That’s why we’re getting ready for our annual holiday detours around the mall, to help our riders avoid congestion and do our part to keep everyone moving. 

Starting Friday, Nov. 25, we will begin detours on 11 bus lines that serve the mall at Southeast 82nd Avenue and Sunnyside Road. The detours are temporary and will be in place between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. on select dates through Monday, Dec. 26. We understand that this temporary change will mean some inconvenience for our riders, and we thank them for their patience as we do our best to keep the “Bah! Humbug!” out of the holiday season!
