As a dedicated TriMet rider, I thought I would pass along some helpful information about commuting to campus.
The trip planner is extremely helpful, but keep in mind that you can modify the search to specify walking distance, modes of transportation (bus, MAX, Streetcar, WES Commuter Rail), etc. It does cost money to use public transportation, but the fares are reasonable. Do NOT try to ride without purchasing a pass; they will check for tickets at random stations, and it is really embarrassing (not from experience) when the officer escorts someone off the train.
If you are driving to campus, you may purchase a parking pass at the Transportation and Parking Services office in Neuberger Hall. I'm not sure what rate they will charge REU participants, but they have a list of who is participating this year as well as a letter from me. If you have any trouble, let me know. Most likely, you will want to park in Parking Structure 3, as it is the closest to Science Buildings 1 & 2.
I would be happy to investigate commuting options for you. Send me an email anytime!
