Morrow County Public Transit Expands Service with Three Fixed Routes

BOARDMAN, OR – March 31, 2025 – Morrow County Public Transit (MCPT) is expanding service with three new fare-free, deviated fixed routes: Morado, Rojo, and Amarillo. These routes are designed to increase accessibility and mobility for residents, connecting communities and essential services throughout the region.

Route Details & Deviations

The Amarillo Route serves approximately 19 stops within Boardman, operating on a 45-minute loop from 6:15 AM to 5:15 PM, completing 15 trips daily.

The Morado and Rojo Routes have significantly expanded service to the Irrigon community, providing greater regional connectivity and access.
