• Portland has an advanced light rail system that connects the airport, the train station, bus stations, and park and rides right to downtown.  PSU is also linked up with the Street Car that runs right into PSU's campus. While the city is well served by transit, cycling and walking are preferred modes by many tens of thousands of residents and students alike.  In fact, Portland has the highest percentage (6-8%) of bicycle commuters of any large US City, and is the only large city to earn The League of American Bicyclists’ platinum status as a bicycle-friendly city.  If you are driving to Portland, consider bringing a bike along to take advantage of the many cycling routes and paths in this bicycle friendly, metropolitan area.
