Transportation News & Resources
Join the City Bike Bus!
Commute to downtown with the City Bike Bus on Wednesday, June 11! This event is organized by the Portland Bureau of Transportation and runs every second Wednesday of the month now through October. All community members are invited to join one of nine unique bike bus routes on your ride to downtown before meeting at Salmon Street Springs (SW Naito Parkway and Salmon Street) at 8:15 a.m. for a group photo, coffee, and treats. A bike bus is a group of students—but in this case, adults—biking to school—but in this case, downtown—together. Bike buses have been around for decades, but they have become increasingly popular in recent years.
