For the first time, Verizon customers will find themselves connected at the Washington Park Station, the deepest transit station in North America. Verizon worked with the Tri-County Metropolitan District of Oregon (TriMet) to allow MAX riders on the Verizon network to text, surf the Web and catch up on social media while at the station inside the Robertson Tunnel.
Other wireless service providers have submitted unsolicited proposals to establish wireless service at the Washington Park Station as well, but Verizon is the first to work through the process to install the necessary equipment. The company has also submitted a proposal that would extend its service throughout the 3-mile long Robertson Tunnel.
“Bringing our 4G LTE network to TriMet’s Washington Park Station is part of our continued effort to provide a best-in-class wireless experience for our customers wherever they live, work and play,” said Jonathan LeCompte, Pacific Market President for Verizon.
