MW28 4Ts: Train, Tram, Tilikum, Trolley

Due to popular demand, we are offering the 4Ts Mobile Workshop a second time. If you are already signed up for MW17 4Ts on Tuesday, please do not sign up for this time slot. 

Experience the 4Ts! Explore the history and innovation behind the Portland’s transit systems and discover how they have shaped its culture, mobility and livability. The Portland Streetcar, aka trolley, is the city’s first post-war streetcar. Tilikum Crossing is the nation’s longest bridge for transit and active transportation but not private autos. Soar the heights in one of the nation’s few urban aerial trams and hop aboard Portland’s MAX train: just the third light rail system built in the U.S., it was born out of the death of an eight-lane freeway project. As you ride and walk Tilikum Crossing (1/4-mile at a 5% grade), hear the stories of collaboration and innovation that brought these modes into operation as well as how they combine to serve Portland communities.
