TriMet has laid off all nine of its employees, according to a transit advocacy charity that has spent the last 20 years pushing the transit system to implement policies such as subsidized prices for low-income users.
OPAL Environmental Justice Oregon announced that it had laid off staff members as a cost-cutting measure in an Instagram post earlier this month and in an email sent to supporters and the media on Friday. The organization will continue to function, but its primary source of funding will be volunteers, according to its board of directors.
