The Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon, or TriMet, is a transit agency that serves most of the Oregon section of the Portland metropolitan area: Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas County.

TriMet provides various services, including the TriMet MAX light rail, WES Commuter Rail, and bus services.

TriMet’s third-phase logo, which came out in 2002, features TheMix in a bold weight and all-capital letters. Their slogan and much of their branding use Source Sans. On the website, Source Sans is paired with Zilla Slab for headings.
