While the May service changes are minor, the September service changes will be profound. Because of the state transportation package, HB 2017 Keep Oregon Moving, Cherriots has a new funding source through a statewide employee payroll tax that took effect July 2018. Less than $1 a week for the average worker from a 1/10 of 1 percent tax on wages will generate $115 million a year for better public transportation. Beginning September 7, Cherriots will be able to provide Saturday and later evening service followed by Sunday and some holiday service in 2020. Learn more on the A Better Cherriots page.
