Clackamas County seeks $3 million Congressionally Directed Spending to advance critical transit infrastructure on Mt. Hood.

Mt. Hood is an economic driver for Clackamas County and the State of Oregon. The Mt. Hood Express, a public bus service administered by Clackamas County, seeks to address mountain traffic and state freight route functionality through the construction of a public transit transfer facility near the rural community of Welches.

Construction of a public transit transfer facility will allow for increased bus ridership to Government Camp and other mountain destinations. Facility completion will also support concurrent efforts in Government Camp to relocate rest areas and install a transit hub.

With project planning and development efforts underway, Clackamas County is poised to conduct property acquisition and begin construction when funds become available.

Planning for the Future

This project advances a component of the larger Vision Around the Mountain plan (2021), a long-term, regional transit vision for public transportation serving Mt. Hood via OR 35, US 26, and I-84.
