Equal opportunity for employment

TriMet’s hiring practices assure equal treatment and consideration for all individuals, regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, sex, disability, age, protected veteran status, or other status protected by law.
Affirmative action
The agency has voluntarily undertaken an affirmative action program, including setting goals, in order to overcome the effects of past societal discrimination on minorities and women.
