Getting to UO Portland
Neighborhood
Nestled in a historic northeast Portland neighborhood, the campus offers a welcoming community not far from downtown and its urban amenities. Conveniently located just a short drive from Portland International Airport (PDX), the campus is easily accessible for visitors and well connected to both national and international destinations.
All motorized vehicles are required to obtain a no-cost virtual P-zone parking permit through UO Transportation Services’ online parking portal.
A small number of individually marked “visitor parking” spaces are strategically located and signed on campus and do not need a virtual permit. However, they are limited to two-hour parking.
There are currently no EV chargers available on campus.
Public Transit (TriMet)
Line 8 (Jackson Park/NE 15th) connects campus and inner Northeast and Southwest Portland, traveling on NE Dekum with a stop at NE 27th Avenue and Dekum Street.
Line 75 (Cesar Chavez/Lombard) runs north to St. Johns and south to Milwaukie, with connections to MAX at the Hollywood Transit Center and to several bus lines along the way. It uses the same stops at 27th & Dekum as Line 8.
Line 17 (Holgate/NE 33rd), travels on NE 33rd with a stop at NE 33rd and Holman.
Trimet route planning and bus tracker can be found at trimet.org.
Full-time employees may be eligible for a free annual TriMet pass. Contact pdxinfo@uoregon.edu to request more information.
Micro-Mobility
Given the size of Portland, there are several convenient travel choices available in lieu of driving a personal automobile. As UO Portland campus continues to grow in the future, many of these options will continue to expand over time.

E-Scooter Share
Portland also offers an E-Scooter Program to advance the city’s goals on mobility, climate, equity, and safety.
