Transit Security




OPB's Think Out Loud show

Summary: In the wake of the violent attack that occurred on a Portland light-rail MAX train in May, TriMet has increased both armed and unarmed security presence on public transit. On Wednesday’s show we heard from rider advocacy group Bus Riders Unite! about their call for a decrease in armed police presence. Today, we continue the discussion with Trimet’s Chief Operating Officer, Doug Kelsey.
