Streetcar
Portland’s streetcar has been extended to service Portland’s South Waterfront. The streetcar stops at the corner of S.W. Moody and S.W. Gibbs, which is across the street and just north of the Center for Health & Healing. Patients and visitors may ride a TriMet bus downtown and transfer to the Portland streetcar. The closest streetcar stop to the downtown transit mall is at S.W. 5th and Market. The streetcar accommodates bikes and wheelchairs. Schedules and fare information are available online at: www.portlandstreetcar.or
Bus
There are a number of bus routes that serve the South Waterfront. Please check Tri-Met's website for more details.
