Major Projects

The Better Red project extends MAX Red Line west to serve 10 more stations and improves schedule reliability for the entire MAX system. The project brings nearly $100 million in federal funds and creates jobs for the region.

Construction near the Fair Complex/Hillsboro Airport Station and in the Gateway area began in fall 2021, and at Portland International Airport in early 2022. The new Red Line service in Beaverton and Hillsboro opened in fall 2024.
