Directions to the Center for Health and Healing
Get safely down to the west side of the Waterfront. Ride along past the hotel, and continue straight on SW Harbor Way. Then make a left onto SW Montgomery (following bike sign routes) into the first section of the South Waterfront. Bike through the South Waterfront until you reach SW Moody, then make a left. Moody wraps around to the right and continues south, and will take you all the way to the Center for Health and Healing. There is a bike lane on SW Moody.

You can also get directions by going to www.ByCycle.org (Portland, OR) or to www.mapquest.com, and typing in the CHH address, "3303 S.W. Bond Ave."

Campus Drive Bicycle Access
According to Ali Sadri, Assistant Director of Facilities Management, Campus Drive will not be open to cyclists until mid-January.

Bike Commuter Incentive
Effective, May 2, 2005, the OHSU Parking Office will REVISE the OHSU Commuter Card policy. This is a FREE punch card to be used by those who bike to the OHSU campus. Here is how the program works:

Come to the OHSU Parking Office or the OHSU Parking Information Booth to get your free OHSU Commuter Card. Next, every time you ride your bike to campus, ride through the OHSU Parking Information Booth, come to the OHSU Parking Office, or ride through our parking booth at the Casey Eye Institute. Your card will be punched and you will be on your way. The best part is when your card is filled up, you will receive a credit toward the next month of parking (if you are an OHSU parker), or a check mailed to your home (for non-OHSU parkers). All for riding your bike!

To qualify for this program, you must live at least two miles from OHSU. There are two types of incentives - if you enjoy the Tri-met incentive and carry a Tri-met PASSport, once your card is full, we will send you a check or credit of $25. If you do not use Tri-met, and do not have a PASSport, you will be eligible for a $50 check or credit.

For details on this program, please contact Angela Timmen at timmena@ohsu.edu or call the OHSU Parking Office at (503)494-2655.
