On June 14, 2023, the C-TRAN Board of Directors approved a plan to begin restoring fares following a fare reduction that was implemented in 2022 and extended through 2023. The fare reduction was implemented to help support the community as it transitioned out of the pandemic; however, as we continue our path forward, C-TRAN has made a commitment to conduct annual fare reviews in support of our current service and future growth. The following fare changes will take effect January 1, 2024.
Note: Also effective January 1, TriMet’s Adult and Honored fares will increase. Passengers transferring from a C-TRAN Regional route to TriMet using Hop Fastpass will only be charged the difference between the two fares upon transferring. Those using cash will have to pay the full TriMet fare. C-TRAN recommends using Hop Fastpass to avoid paying full cash fare on both systems.

Why restore fares now?
C-TRAN is committed to reviewing its fares on an annual basis. Our review process was originally scheduled to begin in July of 2023; however, with TriMet’s annual fare proposal occurring earlier in the year, and the potential impact it may have on Regional fares, C-TRAN opted to begin their process a bit earlier in support of this partnership and to provide clarity for the riders who use both transit systems.
