The Parkrose/Sumner Transit Center station is a TriMet transit center and light rail station on the MAX Red Line in Portland, Oregon. It is the fourth stop north on the Airport MAX branch, and consists of an island platform in the median of Interstate 205. The entrance and exit to the transit center are on Sandy Blvd. near 95th Avenue, in the Parkrose neighborhood and east of the Sumner neighborhood.
It is a hub for bus service to Gresham, Tigard, Lents, Fairview, Vancouver, Wood Village and Clackamas. A bridge across the northbound lanes of I-205 connects the MAX platform to a park-and-ride lot and bus stops.

Unique station features
- Flashbird Bridge: Designed by Ed Carpenter and KPFF Engineering, the bridge was meant to be inspired by its location near the Columbia River and the Portland International Airport. The form is meant to suggest a creature that might swim or fly.[4]
- Furniture: Designed by Peter Reiquam, two pieces symbolizing home and office for the direction one is going, adorn the platform.
- Windscreen: Christine Bourdette and Vicki Scuri worked with the project architects to design the windscreen in ceramic frit.
