PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
The City of Portland has an amazing public transportation system, TriMet. It's a
combination of light rail ('MAX'), streetcars and traditional buses. Four MAX light rail
lines, and two streetcar lines are all within close reach of the conference area. These six
routes can take you to just about any point of interest within the city.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
TRIMET FARES
Keep your ticket! A single TriMet ticket provides unlimited access to all light rail,
streetcar and bus lines within the given time period (2-hour / 1-day / 7-day). No need for
transfer tickets or repurchases; just ride around town to your heart's content.
