What is a work group? It’s a group of people who come together to work
through topic-specific issues facing the places in the Powell-Division
corridor connecting Gresham and Portland. Anyone can participate.

Lines 4-Division and 9-Powell are among the region’s busiest bus lines. The
Powell-Division Transit and Development project will bring improvements
that save riders time and provide a higher quality service beyond today’s
Frequent Service. We are studying a range of bus options, routes that
connect Gresham and Portland, and ways to improve walking and biking access
along the route. Learn more at www.oregonmetro.gov/powelldivision.
