Columbia County Rider (CC Rider) is a transit service in Columbia County, Oregon, that is managed by the Columbia County Transit Division. It is a part of NW Connector, an alliance of small bus networks in Northwest Oregon. As of July 2021, CC Rider comprises one bus route connecting St. Helens and Scappoose to Portland.[1]

As of 2016, buses were operated by contract drivers supplied by MTR Western, a charter motor coach operator,[2] but the county chose not to renew its contract with MTR when it expired in June 2022, and since July 1, 2022, the county has operated the service directly.[3]
