Fare collection seems to be a problem& rarely enforced. All fare media is paper.

This Portland Streetcar stop is also adjacent to the lower level Portland Aerial Tram station

The Portland Tram is both public transportation and tourist attraction linking the upper & lower campuses of Oregon Health

& Science University (OHSU)

My impression: Portland is a beautiful city whose citizens enjoy its fun “sense of place”. The city is aggressively pursuing a variety of transportation options. Nonetheless, just like the rest of America,

TDM opportunities remain as SOV use remains predominant.
