Public Transportation


Public transportation commuters can find easy access to buses and light rail from any area of Beaverton. The Portland metropolitan area’s award-winning public transportation system, TriMet, carries over 300,000 riders on weekdays. Also don't forget about TriMet’s Night Stop program. A courtesy stop / Night Stop allows riders to ask the operator to drop them off at a safe location other than a designated bus stop to get them closer to their destination.

Additionally, with the opening of the new airport light rail line, commuters can travel from Beaverton to Portland International Airport in just an hour for a fraction of the cost of airport parking or taxi service. In addition, an express TriMet commuter rail line (WES) from Wilsonville to Beaverton is now available.

Seaports


The Port of Portland manages four marine terminals along the Columbia and Willamette rivers that all lay in close proximity to major rail and highway connections.
