TriMet to continue successful partnership with Portland Timbers, Thorns FC in 2025 and 2026
Your ticket to the game is also your ticket to ride!
TriMet is extending our partnership with the Portland Timbers and Portland Thorns FC for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
If you have a ticket to a Timbers or Thorns game at Providence Park, you can use it as your proof of fare on TriMet buses and MAX trains on match days — all thanks to a partnership between TriMet and our professional soccer teams. We began accepting match-day tickets as fare on TriMet during the 2024 season. Starting in 2025, and through 2026, we’ll also accept Providence Park concert tickets as fare!
For up to three hours before or after the event for which the ticket is valid, you can present your Timbers, Thorns or concert ticket to your TriMet bus operator or TriMet Customer Safety Supervisor as proof of payment. Digital tickets can be displayed on a smartphone or other device. Learn more at trimet.org/providencepark.
Keep an eye out for the upcoming season schedules, and plan your trip at trimet.org.
Go by bus or train
The Timbers, Thorns and TriMet share a common goal: encouraging fans to take transit to and from Providence Park.
By taking TriMet, you can save on gas and parking, as well as avoid the hassle of traffic and finding a space for your car. Wave goodbye to those match-day parking fees!
TriMet is also the environmentally friendly way to go! MAX light rail provides 100% zero-emissions transportation, stopping just steps from Providence Park. TriMet bus service is provided by a mix of renewable diesel, hybrid and battery-electric buses.
Both the MAX Blue Line and MAX Red Line serve Providence Park. The stadium is also served by several bus lines:
- Line 6-Martin Luther King Jr Blvd (stops about three blocks away, near Goose Hollow MAX Station)
- Line 15-Belmont/NW 23rd
- Line 20-Burnside/Stark
- Line 24-Fremont/NW 18th
- Line 58-Canyon Rd (stops about three blocks away, near Goose Hollow MAX Station)
Additionally, late-night MAX bus lines 287, 288 and 292 serve the Goose Hollow and Providence Park MAX stations after train service ends for the night.
