The current southern terminal of WES is
at Wilsonville. Wilsonville is a unique suburb. There are a lot of homes
in the area, but there is also a lot of industry and office parks. Thus
this station will see commuters in both directions. The station also
maintains a large transit center for Wilsonville SMART buses. Uniquely,
the Trimet bus that serves Wilsonville (Route 96) does NOT serve this
station. On top of Wilsonville's local bus system, there are buses from
CATS (Canby, OR) and Cherriots (Salem, OR). This makes Wilsonville
station unique with busses coming in from up to 30 miles away.
There is consideration to extend WES
further south towards Salem, but that is some time away. |
