Beaverton Transit Center

The Beaverton Transit Center is a bus, light rail and commuter rail station in Beaverton, Oregon, United States. It serves MAX Light Rail, being the 6th stop westbound on the Westside MAX. It serves the Blue Line, and serves as the western terminus for the Red Line. It also serves as the northern terminus of the Westside Express Service. The station is also a hub for numerous bus lines around Beaverton and is connected by walkway to an adjacent shopping center.HistoryThe first Beaverton Transit Center opened in June 1979 at a different location from the current facility, about 1,100ft to the south; there were timed transfer connections among the several bus routes serving it.The current Beaverton Transit Center opened on September 4, 1988, replacing the original one and still being a bus-only transit center. Construction of the Westside MAX project began in 1994 to connect the transit center to light rail, and the MAX station at Beaverton TC opened on September 12, 1998, at the same time as the rest of the Westside MAX line. Originally, the Westside Line (Hillsboro to Downtown Portland, continuing as the Eastside Line to Gresham) was the only MAX line serving Beaverton Transit Center; that line was renamed the Blue Line in 2001. However, in 2003 TriMet extended the Red Line service to Beaverton TC.
