Location

Union Station is a pair of light rail stations on the MAX Orange and Yellow Lines in Portland, Oregon. The northbound station is Union Station/Northwest 6th & Hoyt station and the southbound station is Union Station/Northwest 5th & Glisan station. They are the first stops southbound on the Portland Transit Mall MAX extension. The Union Station/Northwest 6th & Hoyt Street station is served only by the Yellow Line, and the Union Station/Northwest 5th & Glisan Street station is served only by the Orange Line. Originally, from the opening of these stations in 2009 until 2015, the Green and Yellow Lines served both, but in September 2015 the then-new Orange Line replaced the Yellow Line at all southbound stations on the transit mall, and in August 2026 the Green Line was cut back to Gateway Transit Center and no longer serves either station.

The stations are built into the sidewalks of 5th and 6th Avenues and are located next to Union Station, where there are connections to Amtrak and Greyhound buses.

When opened on August 30, 2009, the stations were located in Fareless Square (within fare zone 1), which was renamed the Free Rail Zone four months later, but the fare-free zone was eliminated in 2012 when TriMet discontinued all use of fare zones.
