TriMet has reduced bus arrivals after 9 p.m. along the line that services campus, the Line 35-Macadam/Greeley, according to the agency’s website.
The bus will now run once per hour instead of twice per hour.
Buses on Line 35 will run at this reduced frequency until their last scheduled trip of the night, according to a Nov. 20 email from Darin Lund, a TriMet transportation options representative.

The line’s North Portsmouth & Willamette stop, located just off campus near Lund Family and Haggerty & Tyson halls, previously had six scheduled stops between 9 p.m. and midnight.
The changes reduce that number to three, at 10:01 p.m., 11:01 p.m. and 11:58 p.m.
The change, which took effect on Nov. 30, is due to TriMet’s $300 million budget deficit that the agency is addressing with service reductions and layoffs.
