The 82nd Avenue Transit Project will introduce high-capacity FX (Frequent Express) bus service along SE 82nd Avenue, from Clackamas Town Center to the Cully neighborhood, improving travel times, reliability, and access to jobs, schools, and other key destinations. APANO will serve as one of the workforce and contractor development partners, helping connect community members—especially those from underserved populations—to pre-apprenticeship programs and construction jobs created through the project.
