Connectpoint Secures New Digital Signage Contract with TriMet

TriMet, Portland, OR, has awarded Connectpoint a second five-year contract to continue delivering real-time information through advanced digital signage at bus stops and stations. This partnership builds on five years of innovation, with Connectpoint’s solar-powered ePaper displays and LED signage deployed across the agency’s network.

Under the new contract, TriMet will expand its deployment of Connectpoint’s technology, including the Digital Bus Stop (13” and 32” ePaper displays), Connectpoint LED and signage, and the Falcon text-to-speech button. These solutions are powered by CPAM (Connectpoint Asset Management). CPAM can be accessed remotely from any mobile device for immediate updates and performance monitoring. Additionally, it can function as an emergency messaging system.

Since 2020, TriMet has installed more than 450 solar-powered 13” ePaper displays throughout the Portland metro area, including high-traffic transit stops, hubs, and city corridors. Additionally, more than 325 LED signs enhance communication along TriMet’s 15-mile Division Transit Project, connecting downtown Portland and Gresham, and along its MAX Light Rail network.

“TriMet is a recognized leader in Smart City innovation, setting standards in service, connectivity, and customer satisfaction,” said Rick Wood, CEO of Connectpoint. “By deploying hundreds of Connectpoint’s real-time information displays, TriMet has fostered trust with riders, ensuring they stay informed about arrival times, service changes, and emergency alerts. Mass transit is the backbone of any Smart City, and we are excited to support TriMet’s vision with our forward-thinking communication solutions.”
