POL Government Bureaus & Offices Transportation Getting Around Portland Transportation Options

The Transportation Options division of the Portland Bureau of Transportation provides information, resources, and tools to help Portland residents, employees, and students make good choices about how to get around.  Through our SmartTrips and Safer Routes to Schools programs we offer a coordinated menu of tools, encouragement, information, and activities to promote walking, biking, transit use, carpooling, and carsharing.

 

We encourage residents to explore all the alternatives to driving alone.  Exercising your Options keeps you fit, saves you money, and helps our transportation system run smoothly. Thanks for discovering all the options you have for Getting Around Portland!
