Ridership

February 2025 overall ridership declined by 6.75% compared with February 2024. Total ridership was 6,689 passengers. SAM-Gresham had 4,748 riders, a 11.98% drop from the previous year. The Shopper Shuttle provided 376 rides, a decrease of 32.98%. The decline in ridership is partially due to the winter storm that occurred mid-February. While we did experience some decline in ridership, the SAM-Estacada increased by 121.14%, providing 544 rides. SAM-Clackamas had 423 passengers, an increase of 235.71%.

SAM rides transported 512 passengers, a decrease of 31.64%. ED provided 86 rides, a decrease of 11.34%. The decrease is likely due to the extreme weather conditions.
