February 2023 overall ridership totaled 6,214 passengers, a 8.75% increase from February 2022. This is in spite of staff shortages and severe weather conditions that resulted in limited or canceled service. SAM-Gresham provided 4,681 rides, an increase of 8.36%. SAM-Estacada experienced a decrease of 7.13%, which can be attributed to the weather. The Shopper Shuttle ridership increased by 11.36% with 441 riders.

Through CARES Act funding, we have received another transit van. This van was designed to be a sweeper vehicle and will serve as a backup for other vehicles as needed.
