SMART Services

Operated by the City of Wilsonville, SMART maintains a fleet of over 35 vehicles ranging from 40 foot buses to minivans and a trolley-bus. SMART also operates Dial-a-Ride, which provides door-to-door service within Wilsonville and medical transport services to Portland and other nearby cities for the elderly and disabled. SMART services are free within Wilsonville, but intercity services charge a fee. Funding for SMART is provided primarily by local businesses and grants.

In addition to bus routes and Dial-a-Ride, SMART manages the SMART Options Program which promotes alternatives to driving alone, such as riding transit, walking, bicycling and ridesharing. SMART also provides buses for special events and pre-scheduled senior lunches, shopping, and other trips.

In February 2009, TriMet’s Westside Express Service (WES) Commuter Rail, a self-propelled diesel rail line servicing 5 stations from Beaverton to Wilsonville, began operation. In Beaverton, the Commuter Rail connects with TriMet buses and MAX lines serving Beaverton, Hillsboro, downtown Portland, and the Portland International Airport. In Wilsonville, SMART buses take WES commuters to businesses and neighborhoods throughout the city and provide service or direct transfers to Salem and Canby.

People of all ages are using SMART for traveling to work, daily trips to the grocery store, appointments, and attending recreational activities. By providing dependable transportation and helping to alleviate congestion on our roadways, SMART is rapidly becoming the right choice for a growing number of commuters and plays a vital role in providing transportation for those who, either by choice or necessity, do not drive.
