Transportation

Location

This year, we will be located at the Hyatt Regency Portland. The Hyatt Regency Portland is located across from the Oregon Convention Center in the Lloyd District, which is right next to a public transit station.

Local Travel Options

Public Transit

Directly outside the hotel doors is a Trimet MAX Light Rail stop for the Red, Blue and Green lines, with a stop for the Yellow line a few blocks away. Within walking distance, there is easy access to the 6, 8, 77, 292 and FX2-Division bus routes, A Loop and B Loop streetcars, and a Biketown bikesharing station. Finally, ridesharing services are always available within the city, allowing you to get to your destination with ease.

Trimet bus and lightrail fares are $2.80 for adults for 2.5 hours of riding. Fares can be paid via tap-to-pay, including Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Ridesharing / Taxi

The city of Portland has a few private transportation options, including Lyft, Uber and Radiocab. Lyft is the dominant rideshare network in the city of Portland.

Getting There

The easiest way to map out the route from your location is to use your phone's mapping program -- such as Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze. However, we have also written up instructions for transit hubs.

From the Airport

The easiest way to get to the hotel from the airport is the Trimet MAX Light Rail. From the Baggage Claim area, follow the signs to head to Public Transportation / MAX Red line station. From there, board the Red line. Depart the Red line at the Convention Center stop, then walk north across the street to arrive at the hotel.

Alternatively, you may board the 292 bus route. From the Baggage Claim area, follow the signs to head to the bus station. From there, board the 292 bus. Depart the bus at Multnomah & 3rd, then walk south on Third Ave to arrive at the hotel.

The airport also has a dedicated rideshare and tax pickup zone, allowing easy transportation with Lyft and Uber. To get to the pickup zone, simply head down the escalators from the baggage claim area, which will lead you underground. To the left, a set of stairs and elevators will take you up to the pickup zones. From there, you will see signage for the respective Lyft and Uber zones.

From the Train Station/Bus Stop

Union Station is the Portland station for the Amtrak trains and is directly across the river from the hotel. A few short blocks away is the pickup spot for long distance buses such as the Greyhound and Flixbus services.

Since the bus stop and train station are so close to each other, the following directions will be written starting at the train station. If you arrived by Greyhound/Flixbus, walk south down 6th Ave under the bridge and arrive at the entrance to Union Station.

The station and hotel are a single MAX Light Rail stop away from each other. Less than a block away is a stop for the MAX Green and Yellow lines. Start by walking one block south down 6th Ave. Board the Green line towards Clackamas TC. Depart the Green line at the following stop, then walk north across the street to arrive at the hotel.

Alternatively, you may request a Lyft or Uber to get to the hotel. The rideshare pickup zone is located just outside of the train station entrance.
