Updates from Sandy Area Metro (SAM) |
|
SAM Shopper Shuttle
We're excited to announce that the Shopper Shuttle is now running on Saturdays! Hop on the trolley and get your shopping done without having to worry about driving or parking! The shuttle stops at all shopping centers as well as many parks and trails throughout Sandy. All rides on the Shopper Shuttle are free!
Route Redesign Ideas
SAM is considering a route redesign for the community Shopper Shuttle (see maps below) and we're seeking public input.
Currently the shuttle runs two loops every hour - one on the north side of town and the other on the south side. The proposed route redesign would use the same stops but run in one combined loop every hour. In addition to the current stops, the redesign would include a stop at the Sandy Cinema! Route times may also be adjusted to facilitate transportation for middle and high school students who participate in after school activities.
To provide input on the route or time changes, please email [email protected] or call Muna Rustam at 503.668.3466.

Farmers Market Service
We all love the Mount Hood Farmers Market in downtown Sandy, but traffic and parking can sometimes be a challenge. SAM is excited to announce a free Farmers Market Route every Friday! This route will run through October.
The red line will begin at the Operations Center/Park and Ride, traveling through the north side. It will then travel the green line to Vista Loop, followed by the purple loop on the south side. Each loop will stop at the Farmers Market!

Mountain Festival Shuttle
SAM is providing free shuttle service to the Sandy Mountain Festival this year! With our convenient park and ride, you can skip the crowded parking lots and enjoy a pleasant ride to the festival!!
The shuttle will run both days. As always, SAM and MHX are free all weekend.
