Thank you to everyone who trusted the POINT to get you where you needed to go in 2023! Last year we had some of the highest ridership and revenue numbers on our Cascades Route that we have seen in many years.

2023 was a great year for the NorthWest Route! Ridership was way up and our costs decreased for the third year in a row after an all-time high in 2020. Thank you, riders!

Thank you to everyone who trusted the POINT for your travel needs through Eastern Oregon in 2023! Though it was a tough year for the service, the Eastern Route did achieve its highest monthly on-time performance to date.

Wildfire repairs to U.S. 199 between the Oregon border and California coast have completed so the POINT is now able to resume normal service. As part of the return to full service, the bus bridge between POINT and JCT in the Cave Junction-Grants Pass area has been ended in order to better serve our riders and improve coordination with other services. POINT riders can now travel through the region every day without needing to transfer to another bus service. Our riders will also continue to enjoy free transfers onto JCT, RVTD, and RCT at the end of their ride (just ask your driver for a free transfer slip!).

Effective May 1, 2024, we will be making minor schedule changes to the NorthWest Route. These changes will help ensure buses get to their stops on time with fewer delays. Passengers let us know how important these things are on our 2023 rider survey. The new schedule will maintain all of our important connections to services along the coast and to Amtrak trains at Portland Union Station! View and download a PDF version of the new schedule.
