TriMet has not yet decided whether or not the line would be a new line or an extension of the Green Line.

The rail line would go through the cities of Tigard and Tualatin.
TriMet and Metro began planning a line for Tigard and Tualatin in 2009. The initial design and environmental review phases were completed between 2016 and 2020.[1]
