Bus line connections
As of August 2026, Delta Park/Vanport MAX station is served by three bus routes:
- TriMet route 6 - Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. (southbound trips only)

Bus service history
When the station opened in 2004, there was no regular bus service to it; however, C-Tran did use the bus bays during winter storms instead of providing through service to downtown Portland. In 2007, C-Tran began regularly serving the station for the first time.[2] Three limited-stop "commuter" (rush hours only) routes (41, 44 and 47) served the station starting in May 2007,[2] connecting it with Vancouver and other points in Clark County.[3] Another route was added in September 2007, prompted by TriMet's discontinuation, on September 2 of that year, of the portion of its route 6-ML King Blvd between Jantzen Beach and downtown Vancouver. C-Tran began operating a temporary shuttle between Delta Park/Vanport MAX station and downtown Vancouver,[4] replacing it with permanent service – with a regular, all-day route (4-Fourth Plain) – in November 2007.[5][6]
Routes 4-Fourth Plain and 44-Fourth Plain Limited stopped serving the station in September 2016,[7] and route 47-Battle Ground Limited's service to the station was discontinued in September 2017.[8]
TriMet bus service (route 6, southbound trips only) to this station was introduced in September 2017.[9]
TriMet bus service (route 293, night bus) was introduced in August 2024 in place of the MAX.[10]. As of August 2026, the route has changed to serve N Expo Rd instead of N Columbia Blvd, Portland Rd, and Marine Dr for faster trips to Delta Park/Vanport MAX station.[11]
