WES hits 1-year mark

Tuesday marked the first anniversary of TriMet's Westside Express Service (WES) that connects Tualatin, Wilsonville, Tigard and Beaverton.

According to TriMet, 42 percent of the line's riders previously drove to their destinations.

Still, ridership on the WES isn't growing as fast as initial projections had estimated. Transit leaders blame the economy, saying high unemployment has resulted in fewer commuters.
