The Columbia Gorge Express will launch its expanded summer schedule on June 15.  It will expand for the summer to eight departures a day from the Gateway Transit Center to Rooster Rock State Park and Multnomah Falls, and three of those trips will continue east to Cascade Locks and Hood River.  The service started in 2016 and operated for its first two years from May to September and only between the Gateway Transit Center and Multnomah Falls.  Last year, the service expanded to seven days a week and added stops in Cascade Locks and Hood River.  Riders this summer will benefit from a more convenient bus stop location in Cascade Locks and new amenities at the Hood River bus stop, including landscaping, signage, and artwork.  Service will scale back in late September for the slower fall and winter months.
