[edit] History
The first Beaverton Transit Center opened in June 1979 at a different location from the current facility, about 1,100 feet (340 m) to the south; there were timed transfer connections among the several bus routes serving it.
The current Beaverton Transit Center opened on September 4, 1988, replacing the original one and still being a bus-only transit center.[1] Construction of the Westside MAX project began in 1994 to connect the transit center to light rail, and the MAX station at Beaverton TC opened on September 12, 1998, at the same time as the rest of the Westside MAX line.[2] Ten years later, a platform the Westside Express Service (WES) commuter rail line to Wilsonville was constructed, at the northern end of the station, coming into use on January 31, 2009.[3]
