Transit directions from Portland Airport and Downtown to the Beaverton Transit Center

  • Portland area transit is owned by TRIMET, http://trimet.org

  • The MAX lightrail system runs from about 5AM to 1AM. The Red line will take you from the Portland Airport, through downtown Portland, to the Beaverton Transit center, through downtown.
    • The cost is about $3; you must purchase a ticket at the machines at the south end of the lower level baggage claim area.
    • The trains run about every 10 minutes during the day, about every 30 minutes late at night.
    • You can use your MAX ticket as a transfer onto the Trimet bus system.
  • Another Trimet train, the BLUE line, runs along the same tracks from downtown Portland to Beaverton
    • Factoid: Leaving downtown Portland, the trains travel through a tunnel deep under the West Hills. This is the deepest transit tunnel in North America, 260 feet below the top of the hill, and one of the steepest uphill grades.
  • From downtown, you can take the #56 bus (Beaverton Hillsdale) or #58 bus (Canyon Road) to get to Beaverton.
    • The 58 bus runs up and down Market street, about 8 blocks south of and parallel to the Max line. It does cross the MAX line at the Goose Hollow Station, just before the tunnel entrance
    • It is probably less complicated to take MAX all the way to the Beaverton Transit Center.

== Transit directions from Beaverton Transit Center to 4180 sw 99th.

  • We are half a mile south of Canyon Road, about 1.6 miles on foot from the transit center. You can take the 58 bus east from the transit center and walk south from Canyon Road (get off at the stop before the Shiloh in, or the stop at 96th).
  • You can also take the 56 bus east down Beaverton Hillsdale Highway, get off at the stop across from McCormick and Schmicks, and walk north on 99th.

  • Beaverton Drivers Ignore Pedestrians Take care when crossing Canyon or Beaverton Road, especially at night. The drivers are too busy illegally yacking on their cell phones to pay attention to you.

Bicycle Directions

  • You can take your bicycle on the MAX. Good luck getting it on board at rush hour, though.
  • The best way over the west hills is through Forest Park and the Zoo.
  • Skyline Boulevard is too narrow and twisty for cars and bicycles. Some suicidal fools still try.
  • There is a very nice bike trail running along the south side of 26 from Cedar Hills to the north side of the skyline exit.
  • It is probably best to use 5th street, south of Beaverton Hillsdale, to get from Beaverton to Cypress Street in the Royal Woodlands neighborhood.
    • From the east dead end on 5th, go through the apartment parking lot east to a 1 block long trail to Cypress.
    • Take Cypress up the hill to the dead end, with a narrow path connecting to a southern stub of 99th.
    • Beaverton Drivers do NOT Ignore Bicyclists. They TARGET Them. Beaverton is a "bronze" bicycling city. That is the lowest rank, below silver (you might survive) and gold (actually pleasant to ride a bike). If there was a lower rank, it would be "lead", and involve helicopters with snipers.
