The Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) board recently adopted a $741 million capital and operating budget for fiscal-year 2008, which begins July 1.

The budget includes funds to continue building the 8.3-mile I-205/Portland Mall MAX light-rail extension and 14.7-mile Washington County Commuter Rail line, as well as money to begin replacing ticket vending machines along the Eastside MAX light-rail line.

In addition, TriMet approved implementing a five-cent fare increase Sept. 1 to help keep pace with inflation.
