Ground Transportation Options
Once you've arrived in the Portland/Vancouver area, there are a number of transportation choices to get you around town:
- Public transit: Vancouver has a bus system, however they do not serve the Portland International Airport. Portland has light rail (MAX lines) streetcars and buses serving the downtown area. The bus and MAX lines are both free if you are riding them within the downtown "fareless zone". Details
- Cars: see rental info under "airport" heading above.
- Parking: Many hotels in Vancouver offer free parking. The Water Resources Education Center offers free parking to visitors. Parking in Portland is a bit more difficult. Many of the downtown hotels charge a fee for parking. Additionally, there are a number of SmartPark parking lots available throughout Portland that are reasonably priced.
