More details coming soon about the shuttles and where to find them. We recommend leaving two hours or more before your flight. | |||
These are transportation options for those arriving outside of the shuttle hours. | |||
'''Light rail ("MAX")''' | |||
* The MAX light rail Red Line is the easiest way to travel to and from the airport. | |||
* The trip between the airport and downtown Portland takes about 38 minutes. | |||
* An adult ticket costs $2.50 (Youth $1.65, Honored Citizen $1). MAX ticket machines return change in coins, so small bills are recommended. | |||
* You can roll your luggage on board. | |||
* The first train of the day arrives at PDX at 4:45 a.m. The last train departs PDX at 11:50 p.m. | |||
* The MAX station and ticket machines are located on the lower level, next to the south baggage claim area (turn right at the base of the escalator). | |||
* For complete schedules and more information, visit www.trimet.org/schedules/maxredline.htm | |||
'''[http://www.bluestarbus.com/downtown-express.php Blue Star Bus Downtown Shuttle]''' | |||
* Book online in advance | |||
* $14 one way | |||
* When leaving the airport, you can find the Downtown Airport Express and other hotel shuttle buses on the terminal’s lower roadway (outside of baggage claim) on the far side of Island #2, closer to the parking garage. | |||
'''Taxi''' | |||
* Should be used when two above options are not available | |||
* $35 one way + tip ($3 - $5 is reasonable) | |||
* The one-way trip takes 20-40 minutes. | |||
* Taxis will be waiting in the center section of the airport terminal’s lower roadway outside of baggage claim. | |||
* To get back to the airport from the city center, you can order a cab through the city’s main operators or from a hotel with a dedicated taxi stand. | |||

== Your Old Phones Needed in Portland == | |||
Did you know that the estimated 500,000 mobile devices discarded daily can have another life improving someone's life? | |||
[http://medicmobile.org/ Medic Mobile], a not-for-profit that seeks to advance healthcare in 16 countries with mobile technology (their app in the Firefox Marketplace here: https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/medic-mobile) recycles any type of mobile device through their Hope Phones program (https://hopephones.org/) to fund public health program around the world. | |||
They need your help. '''Let's collect 1,000 old phones to the Mozilla offsite''' to empower health workers and improve the lives of many more. Bring your old Blackberry, StarTac, Chocolate, Galaxy or anonymous device to Portland and help us show that Mozilla cares. We'll have collections points around the offsite for easy drop-off. | |||
