In partnership with Here for Portland,
TriMet and Portland Streetcar are offering free rides on all routes July 3-5. BIKETOWN is also offering a $6 discount on all rides that start or end in downtown Portland on those days.
“Using these free and discounted transit services to eat, play, and shop local will mean you’re helping local employers support their families and provide jobs to others,” Mayor Ted Wheeler said. “A huge thank-you to our partners at TriMet and the Portland Bureau of Transportation for making this possible.”
“For the past year and a half, we have collectively faced extreme challenges, but what could have easily been breaking points for this city has shifted to turning points within this community,” said TriMet General Manager Sam Desue, Jr. “Let’s celebrate this weekend and show our support for our beautiful region, show our gratitude to the first responders and essential workers who got us to this point, and show our appreciation to the entrepreneurs, performers, artisans and athletes who make Portland the city we love. And, let’s do it in a way that’s uniquely Portland—going there by TriMet.”
