What are the rules for bringing pets on TriMet?

TriMet has specific guidelines regarding the transportation of pets on its vehicles to ensure the comfort and safety of all passengers. Generally, pets are not allowed on TriMet vehicles, with the exception of service animals that provide assistance to individuals with disabilities. These service animals must be trained to perform specific tasks related to the individual’s disability. For pet owners, the only circumstance in which pets may be transported on TriMet is if they are contained within a carrier or crate. The crate must be secure and suitable for the size of the animal, and the pet must remain in the carrier throughout the journey. This requirement helps to minimize disturbances to other passengers and facilitates a more pleasant travel environment. It is important for pet owners to be mindful of the space taken up by the carrier and to position it in a manner that does not obstruct aisles or other passengers. For additional details on this policy, including any updates or exceptions, referring to the current information available on the TriMet website may be beneficial.
