[Parent-Network] Transportation to PDX

[Bill & Ann Marie Drabin]

WU offers shuttles for $10 to PDX at Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks.  Have your student read The Toilet Paper !  (The Toilet Paper is an informational flyer/newspaper put in all the campus bathrooms.  Hence, the name, The Toilet Paper.  I saw the notice about Thanksgiving shuttles during Family Weekend.  There is also interesting trivia on The Toilet Paper. Sometimes it is an effective use of time and multitasking!

It's posted on both Amtrak ($34)and Greyhound websites as Portland "PDX" but having never taken it, not sure how close to PDX the station actually is- but may be worth investigating. Also, it appears Greyhound is a 1 hour trip vs ~ 15 min longer on Amtrak!

> The HUT Shuttle is a commercial service that runs every 2 hours between Salem and PDX (no other stops). It leaves from the Red Lion Hotel, which is about 2-3 miles from campus. The round trip fare is about $65 and includes free wi-fi. We have used it many times and find it very convenient and reliable. You can make reservations and pay online. www.hutshuttle.com There are other options (Amtrak to downtown Portland, then transfer to the MAX light rail), and as others have mentioned, the University sometimes arranges shuttles for students. But we usually opt for HUT, as it's pretty much fool-proof! The only drawback is the schedule; they only leave in  2 hour cycles which can sometimes make for a long wait before a flight. Hope you find info this helpful.
