Public Transportation

Due to the outstanding success of the Portland Race, you are strongly urged to take public transportation to the Race if possible!  MAX trains and Tri-Met or C-Tran buses are a great way to go, though allow yourself extra time in any case!  Extra MAX trains will be added on Race Day, and they will still be very busy!
