=== 1990s ===
*1992 The first bike racks are installed on the fronts of some Tri-Met buses, as part of a one-year trial project.<ref name="oreg-1992jun18" />
*1995 Tri-Met's website goes online, hosted by local [[Internet service provider|ISP]] Teleport (which eventually becomes acquired by OneMain.com, later to become part of [[Earthlink]]). At the time when Internet access was less ubiquitous, Tri-Met also offered a dial-up information service through Teleport using a [[Unix shell]] and [[Lynx (web browser)|Lynx]].
*1996 Tri-Met begins to equip its bus fleet with [[vehicle tracking system]] equipment, to enable monitoring of buses in service, using [[Global Positioning System|GPS]] technology.<ref>Oliver, Gordon (August 18, 1996).

*1998 Westside MAX (now known as the Blue Line between Portland and [[Hillsboro, Oregon|Hillsboro]]) opens. Tri-Met also establishes bus lines that come every 15 minutes or sooner everyday, lessening the need to consult a schedule when using them.
*1999 [[GPS|Satellite]]-assisted bus arrival time displays (later to be named ''Transit Tracker'') are installed at select major bus stops in North Portland and downtown.
