While the FedEx hub on Swan Island was busy relocating hundreds of its employees to Troutdale (a long mile from any public transit), UPS was charting an opposite tact: to stay put, double the capacity of their Swan Island hub and make getting to work even easier for their growing number of employees on the Island. The fresh paint on their newly expanded facilities drying apace with hiring, UPS, as of March 1st, took the next bold step: Swan Island UPS employees can receive a transit subsidy that knocks the cost of a monthly TriMet bus pass down to just $22 (pre-tax) per month.
Time for TriMet to fire their engines and FedEx to get some hankies.
